DBT is designed to help you manage intense emotions, navigate difficult situations more effectively, and strengthen your relationships - with yourself and with others. Through DBT, you’ll develop practical skills across four key areas:

Mindfulness, to help you stay grounded in the present moment;

Distress Tolerance, to support you in getting through crises without making things worse;

Emotion Regulation, to better understand and manage your emotions; and

Interpersonal Effectiveness, to communicate more clearly and build healthier, more meaningful relationships.

Together, these skills will empower you to create “a life worth living” even in the face of life’s challenges.

CBT focuses on the relationship between your thoughts (or “cognitions”), emotions, and behaviors. In CBT, we will explore how your thoughts are influenced by your emotions and behaviors, how your emotions are shaped by your thoughts and actions, and how your behaviors are driven by both thoughts and feelings. Through this process, we’ll identify patterns that may no longer be serving you and develop more helpful ways of thinking. These new perspectives can support you in managing difficult emotions and making choices that align with your values.

ACT supports you in building healthier relationships with your thoughts and emotions by encouraging acceptance rather than avoidance or control. In ACT, you’ll learn to clarify what truly matters to you - your core values - and take committed action toward living in alignment with them. By developing psychological flexibility, you’ll strengthen your ability to navigate life’s challenges with greater openness and resilience.

ERP was developed to treat symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders. ERP involves gradually and intentionally exposing you to situations that trigger obsessive thoughts, while supporting you in resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors. These compulsions - such as reassurance seeking or rituals - may offer short-term relief but ultimately prevent you from becoming more comfortable with distress, keeping you stuck in the cycle of anxiety and avoidance. Through ERP, we’ll work together to gradually build your willingness to tolerate discomfort, helping you develop greater confidence, empowerment, and emotional resilience.
