Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy, first developed in the 1980s by Marsha M. Linehan, to treat patients suffering from borderline personality disorder. Since then, DBT’s use has broadened and now it is regularly employed as part of a treatment plan for people struggling with behaviors or emotions they can't control. This can include eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, and more. DBT is a skills-based approach that focuses on helping people increase their emotional and cognitive control by learning the triggers that lead to unwanted behaviors. Once triggers are identified, DBT teaches coping skills that include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. A therapist specializing in DBT will help you to enhance your own capabilities, improve your motivation, provide support in-the-moment, and better manage your own life with problem-solving strategies. Think this approach might work for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s DBT specialists today.

Our pain and suffering show up in so many ways. Trauma can come through so many different experiences: adverse early childhood experiences, grief and loss, systemic oppression, and acute traumas. Clients that come to me often experience depression, anxiety, religious trauma, shame, grief and loss, fear of death/dying, and self-judgement. We work together to create a container to heal in.

Sometimes experiences or sensations in the present moment touch & awaken unresolved experiences from our past without our awareness of what happened; it is all unconscious. This can result in any number of distressing situations from anxiety, panic, & dissociation, to irritability, feelings of overwhelm or sadness. I work with clients to uncover & metabolize experiences from the past so they no longer creep into the present and lead them to defend against situations that are no longer relevant.

You’ve been struggling with overwhelming emotion, anger, frustration, sadness, fear, at times hopeless that you will ever feel grounded. Emotions hit you like unrelenting ocean waves, and you’re being tossed and thrown around trying to get above water for some air. You’re tired of feeling disconnected and disengaged from life, you want to feel secure in yourself and go after what you want. You want a life that feels good and important.

My clients come from all walks of life. Most often I work with trans folks, other people in the LGBTQ community, and those who are part of the kink, poly, non-monogamous, or other sex positive communities. It is important to me to provide a space where someone doesn't need to explain their life or face judgement to improve their access to needed care.

Are you full of anxiety but hiding it pretty well? Women I work with are often struggling with people pleasing and perfectionism. You might be dealing with a toxic workplace or toxic relationship and feel like you're about to lose it. You may be questioning the direction life is headed but have sleep problems, upsetting thoughts and feel exhausted a lot. You may notice yourself misusing substances or caretaking others or working too much. You can get help now and make changes.

Counseling can be as simple as a chat about how you are doing and where you would like to be in life. People often experience distress resulting from an unpredictable world. A common problem for many people stems from feelings of dissatisfaction with their present circumstances. Change may be intimidating, but it’s not impossible - and never too late! I excel at helping my clients find their authentic selves and I am not afraid of challenges, chaos and the messy journey we embark on in therapy.
