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.
