My approach to therapy: that I will never tell you what to do. I will, however, be there for you unconditionally, create a safe space for you to process whatever is going on, guide you on your journey, and sometimes suggest tools and skills along the way.

My approach to therapy: I consider there to be two paths to therapy; first: exploring, processing, and developing insight into your patterns and programming, and second: learning skills, tools and strategies to cope in the moment. We will tackle both!

My approach to therapy: My approach isn't about rigid protocols or just nodding along. While I use evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, and DBT to offer practical strategies, my approach is also deeply human and relationship-centered. I believe lasting change happens when we combine science-backed tools with an in-depth understanding of your unique experiences and needs.

Find Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Therapists & Counselors in South Central of Reno, NV.

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that primarily helps people learn to regulate their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and recognize and deal with anxiety.

One of the core elements of DBT is learning mindfulness skills so that you remain present in the moment and not get overwhelmed with memories from your past or anxiety about the future. Dialectical behavioral therapy also helps you develop interpersonal skills so that you can assert your needs through healthy communication.

DBT was first developed to help people with borderline personality disorder, but DBT has been proven to be effective for mental health issues such as:

  • Eating disorders
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Substance, Drug, or Alcohol use
  • Anxiety
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
