Understanding DBT

What it does

Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings together acceptance and change. DBT skills focus on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. You can practice noticing emotions, getting through difficult moments without making them worse, and communicating more clearly.

Why it may help you

DBT skills may help when emotions feel overwhelming, conflict keeps repeating, or it is difficult to pause before reacting. Talk with Nina about the DBT informed support available and whether a comprehensive DBT program or specialist care would be a better fit.

Practical support, not more pressure.

A look at helpful approaches and patterns this work aims to move away from. This is not a claim about other therapists.

What we work toward

Practice mindfulness and emotional regulation
Build skills to tolerate distress safely
Communicate needs and boundaries clearly

What we move away from

Judging yourself for having strong emotions
Responding to distress in ways that cause harm
Choosing between acceptance and change as if only one matters

What a conversation may look like

You might walk through a difficult moment, notice what happened before and after your response, and practice a grounding skill, a distress tolerance strategy, or a clearer way to ask for what you need.

Your goals, circumstances, and service fit are discussed with Nina. Outcomes vary and no specific result is guaranteed.
