Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach developed by Marsha Linehan to help individuals cope with:

• impulsive behavior,
• self-harm behavior, and
• intense emotional instability.

This highly structured approach gives clients concrete skills around mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. It involves a considerable amount of both validation as well as active problem solving. DBT is a well-researched, highly effective approach for treating both emotional dysregulation and also Borderline Personality.

DBT can help. If you are feeling intense emotional instability or considering harming yourself, contact me either via email or at 703-541-1277 to see how I can help you.
