Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Build Skills to Manage Emotions and Improve Relationships

Are intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, or relationship struggles impacting your life? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that teaches practical skills to help you regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and communicate effectively. At Summit Counseling Center, our trained therapists guide you through DBT to promote lasting change and emotional balance.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness principles to help you accept difficult emotions while working toward positive change. It is especially effective for individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, self-harm behaviors, and interpersonal difficulties.

What to Expect in DBT Sessions

Your DBT therapist will:

Teach four core skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness
Use individual therapy, skills groups, and phone coaching for comprehensive support
Help you develop awareness and acceptance of your feelings
Work with you to create a life worth living through goal setting and skill-building
Provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment for your progress

DBT can be adapted to fit your unique needs and pace.
