Our DBT skills course emphasizes taking action and changing thoughts through using specific coping techniques and psychoeducation.
DBT is an effective treatment approach for helping people make positive and long-term behavior changes to create a life worth living.

Emotion regulation
Decreasing emotional sensitivity/intensity, preventing unwanted emotions from starting, and stopping or reducing unwanted emotions once they start
Interpersonal effectiveness
Initiating/maintaining/repairing relationships, effectively making requests, setting boundaries and increasing/maintaining self-respect
