What is DBT?

Find Your Path to Healing with Nashville DBT

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence based therapy designed to help people who experience intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, relationship struggles, or chronic feelings of emptiness and distress.


In DBT therapy, client and therapist work collaboratively to figure out what is getting in the way of the client’s ‘life worth living.’ Those problems are targeted to decrease while simultaneously increasing functional behaviors.


DBT Therapy Combines:


  • Cognitive-behavioral strategies (to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors)
     
  • Mindfulness and acceptance practices (to help you stay present and reduce suffering)
     
  • A balance of acceptance and change, which is the heart of the "dialectic"

Who Can Benefit from DBT?

Originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), DBT therapy is now widely used for a variety of conditions across varied demographics with an emphasis on emotion regulation.

If you struggle to regulate your emotions, DBT may be helpful for you.  


Among treatment approaches, DBT has the strongest efficacy and known                       as the "gold standard" for BPD treatment.


DBT can work even when previous therapy has not!
