Find Emotional Relief With Adult DBT

 

Dealing with intense emotions is not easy. Many things like a constant stream of stressors, chronic invalidation health issues, and relationship strain can alter your mental health. Working with an experienced mental health professional can help you sift through the hopelessness and confusion and find healing.

 

Adult DBT gives you the tools you need to navigate concerns like:

  • PTSD

  • Eating disorders

  • Traumatic invalidation 

  • Depression

  • Sexual trauma

  • Gaslighting

 

High-stress situations can trigger intense emotions that affect mental and physical health. People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or other health concerns can experience a wide range of symptoms. I, Dr. Shimon Littman, use evidence-based practice, like DBT, to help people find relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

You don’t have to struggle with persistent emotional dysregulation alone. I use evidence-based therapies such as Fully Adherent DBT and Comprehensive DBT to help individuals learn how to regulate emotions. If you have questions about adult DBT, I am happy to answer them. 

​

What Is Adult DBT?

 

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) addresses a wide range of mental health concerns. It was created in the early 1990s to assist those struggling with borderline personality disorder. Since then, many therapists have used the components of DBT to address many other mental health issues. 

Adult DBT is tailored for adults and addresses intense emotions that can rule areas of life. Comprehensive DBT utilizes four treatment modalities: individual therapy, skills group, therapist-team consultations, and phone coaching.

​

Who Can Benefit From DBT?

 

Many people can benefit from DBT techniques. Everyone will have a unique mental health journey, and working with a qualified and compassionate therapist is essential. Anyone struggling with emotional dysregulation, feeling distressed and overwhelmed, and struggling to maintain effective relationships can benefit from DBT - regardless of any particular diagnosis. While DBT was originally designed to address symptoms most common in borderline personality disorder, the treatment has helped thousands of people who don’t meet BPD criteria, and are instead struggling from more general emotion dysregulation. If you’re struggling with stress, trauma, anxiety, feeling hopeless or worthless, or other concerns, DBT can help you regulate your emotional response and move forward.

​

What Mental Health Concerns Does DBT Address?

 

Reduced stress tolerance, shame, anger, and other factors affect our emotions. DBT addresses persistent emotional dysregulation and helps people manage emotions that often feel impossible. You don’t have to let intense emotions or behaviors control your life.
