Dialectical Behavior Therapy
At NYC Mental Health Counseling, we get straight to the heart of the matter. Our practice is built on the principles of real talk, genuine care, and actionable strategies.
What exactly is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Living in or near a large city has its challenges: high-pressure jobs, complicated relationships, and difficulty slowing down. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides a multi-faceted approach to managing these challenges. It emphasizes the development of mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) challenges clients to maintain a dialectical approach which involves finding a balance between acceptance and change. By embracing this transformative approach, clients learn to validate their experiences and emotions while simultaneously working towards positive change. Our therapists use skills training which is a core component of DBT that helps individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms. This modality is effective for treating a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, and offers structured and goal-oriented therapy through collaborative and targeted sessions.
