Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Therapy can equip individuals with the tools to manage symptoms of mental health disorders and stress. One highly effective approach is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
DBT is most often used for individuals who may be:
✔ Experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors
✔ Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
✔ Struggling with mood instability
✔ Facing challenges in regulating emotions
How DBT Works
DBT is built on two core elements:
✦ Acknowledgment & Acceptance: Helping clients understand and validate their current emotions and experiences.
✦ Change-Oriented Strategies: Equipping clients with practical tools to modify harmful behaviors and improve emotional regulation.
Therapists and clients work together through a dialectical process, combining acceptance with change, to help individuals achieve greater stability, balance, and resilience in their lives.
At Open Mind Counseling Services, DBT provides hope and healing helping you find stability in the midst of emotional challenges.
