DBT therapy at MindWell NYC can offer help with the things you are struggling with. MindWell NYC offers comprehensive DBT treatment for challenges regulating emotions, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, engaging in impulsive behavior, and feeling confused about yourself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is comprised of individual therapy, skills training class, phone coaching, and treatment by a team of clinicians. It was created by Marsha M. Linehan, Ph.D., to teach you skills for managing emotions and destructive behaviors creating a great deal of stress in your life. It is typically a time limited treatment (with skills training class varying in length for adults and adolescents and families) that focuses on decreasing confusion about self, tolerating distress without making things worse, improving your ability to regulate your emotions, learning skills to get what you want and need in relationships, and managing behavior in yourself and others more effectively. DBT is different from many other therapy approaches as it integrates eastern mindfulness and Buddhist Zen approaches with components of cognitive and behavior therapy. In the MindWell NYC DBT program, we work with our clients to identify problem areas and then to learn skills to decrease distress and move you towards reaching your goals.
