Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in East Cobb, GA

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) plays a central role in our treatment of emotional dysregulation, trauma, and complex mental health conditions. DBT is a structured, skills-based therapy designed to help you build emotional resilience, improve relationships, and gain control over intense or unpredictable feelings. Whether you are struggling with self-harm, mood instability, or difficulty managing interpersonal conflict, DBT offers clear strategies for achieving lasting stability and growth.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed to treat individuals who experience strong emotional responses and difficulty coping in healthy ways. It blends acceptance and change strategies, helping you validate your emotional experiences while simultaneously working toward behavioral transformation.

DBT is especially effective for individuals who feel stuck in cycles of crisis or chaos. It teaches practical tools for mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
