DBT Therapy
Overcoming Challenges With DBT Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is an educational therapy technique that helps our clients overcome challenges in several key ways. Specifically, DBT develops skills for managing emotions and coping with adversity while increasing stress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. Most commonly, clients report results including an enhanced quality of life, increased self-acceptance and improved relationships. We’ve successfully used this technique to help people dealing with eating disorders, addiction, PTSD and depression, among others. Because it’s important to gauge the therapist-client fit prior to starting DBT Therapy, we offer free consultations in Austin, and throughout Texas. Click below to schedule yours today!
What is DBT Therapy?
DBT Therapy at its core is a method of teaching. We find that educating our clients to understand exactly what they are feeling when presented with certain challenges helps identify the most effective coping strategies. After all, no two people are impacted in exactly the same way and therefore should be equipped with the skills that work best for them. This educational approach often leads to lasting results once complete their program!
