We were honored to return to Connections Day School on Thursday, April 17, where Damari Ortiz, LPC led a staff training on Understanding the Basics of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The presentation focused on building a strong foundation in DBT principles, exploring practical strategies for use in individual and group therapy, and identifying ways to integrate DBT skills into family work. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated educators and clinicians who are committed to strengthening the support they provide to students and families.

Many people feel pressure to appear perfect or believe they must change who they are at their core in order to feel accepted. In therapy, we work with clients to explore self-compassion , recognize personal strengths, and accept imperfections as part of being human. Growth often begins when people release shame and allow themselves to learn, adapt, and move forward with honesty and self-understanding.
