Skills for when the feeling is bigger than the moment.

Dialectical behavior therapy teaches four sets of skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. The "dialectic" is holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are, and working to change.

• ADHD emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity
• People who go from zero to a hundred and regret it later
• Trauma survivors who swing between overwhelm and shutdown
• People-pleasers learning to ask for what they need and say no

I am DBT-trained and use DBT skills in individual therapy, chosen for what you are dealing with. This is not a full DBT program, which also includes a weekly skills group and phone coaching. If you need that level of support, I will help you find it.

Sessions are $180 for 60 minutes after a $200 initial assessment. I am in network with Anthem, Aetna and United through Alma, and provide superbills for other plans. See all fees.
