Balance, Regulation, and Empowerment Through Skillful Living

At Comprehensive Counseling & Consulting Services, we offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support individuals struggling with overwhelming emotions, unstable relationships, impulsive behaviors, or chronic distress. DBT is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps clients find balance between acceptance and change—while learning skills to better navigate life’s challenges.

Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), DBT has evolved into an effective treatment for a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. If you feel like your emotions often control you—or your relationships and behaviors feel out of control—DBT can help you build structure, mindfulness, and emotional resilience.

DBT is a structured, skills-based therapy that integrates principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and acceptance practices. It focuses on four core areas:

1. Mindfulness – Staying present and aware in the moment without judgment
2. Distress Tolerance – Managing emotional crises without making things worse
3. Emotion Regulation – Understanding and balancing intense emotions
4. Interpersonal Effectiveness – Building healthy relationships, communication, and boundaries

DBT also emphasizes validation and self-compassion while supporting positive change.

DBT is especially helpful for individuals who experience:

• Intense or rapidly shifting emotions
• Mood disorders such as borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder
• Anxiety, depression, or trauma-related symptoms
• Suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviors
• Impulsivity, substance use, or disordered eating
• Unstable or conflict-heavy relationships
• Difficulty managing anger, rejection, or abandonment fears

We offer adapted DBT services for teens, adults, and families.

Our DBT program is structured, supportive, and collaborative. It may include:

• Individual DBT Counseling – Personalized therapy to apply skills to your real-life challenges
• DBT Skills Training – Learn and practice the core DBT skills in a structured format
• Phone Coaching Support – Optional tools to help apply DBT skills between sessions
• Behavioral Chain Analysis – Understand what leads to unhelpful behaviors and how to change them
• Validation and Change Techniques – Learn to accept yourself while creating meaningful change

Our therapists are trained to balance empathy and accountability, guiding you with care and clarity.

• Licensed, DBT-trained clinicians
• Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming
• In-person or virtual sessions available
• Safe, structured environment for building skills
• Flexible scheduling, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance

DBT helps you find your center in the middle of chaos. It teaches you to respond—not react—while honoring your emotional experience. If you're ready to gain control, improve relationships, and live with more balance, we're here to help.
