Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy that helps individuals better manage their emotions, relationships, and overall well-being. It’s a holistic approach that addresses both the mind and the body.

One of the core principles of DBT is the concept of dialectics. This means that two seemingly opposing ideas can both be true. For example, it’s possible to simultaneously accept yourself for who you are while also working to improve yourself. DBT helps individuals navigate these opposing ideas and find a balance.

Tailored Approach

In DBT-informed therapy sessions, we focus on four key areas: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through a combination of skills that work for you, we work together to help individuals develop the tools they need to lead a more fulfilling life.

Safe and Supportive Space

At Wise Mind Therapy, we understand that every individual is unique and that’s why we tailor our approach to fit each person’s specific needs. We believe in being authentic and genuine in our interactions with our clients, and we strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space for healing and growth.

If you’re struggling with emotional regulation, relationships, or overall well-being, DBT may be the right approach for you. Contact us today to learn more and schedule an appointment.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Only you can decide if therapy is the right choice for you, but often people seek therapy when they’re feeling stuck or experiencing emotional pain. It’s a brave step towards self-discovery and growth. Trust your gut, and remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

What is the cost of therapy?

Therapy is an investment in yourself, and it’s important to make sure it’s accessible and affordable for you. Ulises’ hourly rate is $200 and he provides a superbill for insurance reimbursement. Let’s have a conversation about what works best for you and your budget, because taking care of your mental health is priceless.

What should I expect at my first session?

During your first session with me, expect to be heard and understood. I’ll ask you some questions to get to know you better and what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your goals for therapy and work together to create a plan for our time together. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and supported from the very first session, so I’ll be there to answer any questions you may have. And remember, the most important thing is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Scheduling an appointment with me is simple, just give me a call or send an email to set up a time that works for you. I’m here to support you and help you work through whatever challenges you may be facing, so don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s get started!
