Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Empowering Teen Girls to Heal & Thrive

Compassion-focused, evidence-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Program

You are not broken—you are overwhelmed & may not be equipped with the essential tools you need to cope with life’s struggles. Left untreated, these can derail your education, relationships, & long-term well-being. 

Adolescence is a critical stage in development when emotional & physical changes are more significant, especially among teen girls (NIH* 2022). Today, teens are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis – with depression, anxiety, trauma, & emotional dysregulation on the rise. 

What is DBT & how can it help teens?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based, structured therapy designed to help you improve self-image, reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, & impulsivity. It helps to reduce risks of substance use, self-harm & suicidal ideation, & decrease conflict & stress within families. Utilizing DBT, you can receive the focused support & tools you need to create real, sustainable change.

DBT focuses on 4 key skill areas:
