Transforming Emotions with Dialectical Behavior Therapy
and hundreds of other insurance plans accepted
Imagine your emotions as waves in the ocean—sometimes calm, sometimes overwhelming. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps you learn how to stay grounded, even when the waves feel too high to manage. Rooted in mindfulness, acceptance, and actionable strategies, DBT provides a path to better understand and regulate your emotions, improve relationships, and face life’s challenges with greater resilience. It’s a collaborative process, giving you tools to navigate life with balance and purpose, even in the face of life’s storms.
If you are in a life-threatening situation, do not use this website. Please call or text 988, or visit this website . If you're experiencing an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
DBT is a structured, skill-building therapy that focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In individual sessions, you’ll work with your therapist to explore your unique challenges and develop tailored strategies for managing them. Group skills training may complement your sessions, providing a supportive environment to practice new tools. Expect to learn techniques for staying present, managing emotional overwhelm, and building stronger, healthier relationships. Over time, these tools become second nature, giving you the confidence to face challenges with clarity and purpose.
The benefits of DBT go beyond symptom relief—it’s about building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. DBT helps you reduce emotional overwhelm, improve self-esteem, and respond to stress in healthier, more productive ways. It also fosters stronger connections with others by teaching you how to set boundaries and communicate effectively. With its focus on practical, long-term tools, DBT provides lasting change, helping you approach life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
You don’t have to face life’s difficulties alone. With the right support, you can learn to manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and build a life that aligns with your values. Browse our network of licensed therapists specializing in DBT, and schedule your first session online today—because the journey to balance and peace starts with one step forward.

Wondering if it's time to see a therapist? Maybe you're curious about therapy, but you wonder if you really “need” it. Have you recently experienced a stressor or traumatic event? Have you been experiencing changes in mood, sleep, or appetite? Have you been feeling “off,” or have you been feeling shame or loneliness? Any of these can be signs that it may be time to see a therapist.
Every therapy process is unique and tailored to your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy, and talk therapy are three common treatment modalities that your therapist may use in session. However, there are a variety of other types of therapies such as EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), exposure therapy and more. If you are looking for a therapist who uses a particular type of therapy, you can search for this type of therapy on findmytherapist.com.

No, we do not. However, in cases where medication is necessary for treatment, we have preferred psychiatrists we coordinate care with in order to get you the help you need as soon as possible.
We accept most major insurances.
Whether insurance covers couples or marriage counseling varies on your insurance provider, policy, and coverage. In most cases, marriage counseling can be billed to and paid for using the mental health benefits included in most health insurance plans. If you or your partner are considering couples or marriage counseling, it is recommended that you check with your insurance provider to see whether it is covered under your insurance plan. If your insurance does not cover couples or marriage counseling and you need to pay out-of-pocket, many therapists offer sliding scale fees.
