Why DBT Coaching

Dialectical behavior therapy is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that is based on a balance between acceptance of where a person is right now together with the need to push for change to help the person get to where they want to be in life. 

The skills training and treatment model of DBT is applicable to a wide variety of individuals (living with or without serious mental health conditions) and has been clinically proven to improve well-being, attention to the present moment, and increasing positive emotional experiences while decreasing negative emotions and distress.

This is why people with depression, bipolar, anxiety, stress, dysfunctional relationships, eating disorders, and other mental health conditions may benefit from the skills gained from coaching using DBT skills training.
