Creating lives worth living

Life can be messy and feel overwhelming,
and sometimes we feel ill-equipped to handle it effectively.
DBT may help.

Welcome to the DBT Clinic

We might find ourselves having a difficult time controlling our emotions and reacting in ways that we later regret. Perhaps we blow up at others, pushing those closest to us away; or we might turn on ourselves with self-criticism, self-harming behaviors and/or thoughts of death. We can find ourselves trapped in troubled relationships, or stuck in worry and despair.

Sound familiar? If you, or a loved one, can relate to this, then you have come to the right place. The DBT Clinic builds lives worth living by teaching people strategies and skills to deal with stress and better manage their lives. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) may be helpful for you!
