Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

At Butterflies of Hope, we offer Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a specialized therapeutic approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life. DBT is particularly effective for those struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD), mood disorders, and emotional dysregulation. Our therapists provide comprehensive DBT skills training, teaching you how to manage emotions, tolerate distress, and build stronger interpersonal relationships. If you're ready to take control of your emotional world and create lasting change, DBT may be the key to unlocking your potential for healing and growth.

Who is This Service For?

Our Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing:

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

• Emotional dysregulation, where intense emotions are difficult to manage
• Self-destructive behaviors, including self-harm or suicidal tendencies
• Chronic feelings of emptiness or difficulty maintaining relationships
• Difficulty managing stress, anger, or frustration
