When emotions feel overwhelming or hard to manage, it can affect your relationships, decisions, and overall well-being. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based, evidence-backed approach that helps individuals build stronger emotional regulation, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and develop healthier coping strategies.

​

At Philly Psych, we use DBT-informed therapy to support individuals struggling with intense emotions, mood instability, impulsivity, anxiety, or difficulties in relationships. It can be especially helpful for those who feel stuck in patterns of emotional reactivity or self-defeating behaviors.

DBT teaches practical, actionable skills in four core areas:
 

• Mindfulness – increasing present-moment awareness

• Distress Tolerance – navigating crises without making things worse

• Emotion Regulation – understanding and managing intense feelings

• Interpersonal Effectiveness – building and maintaining healthy relationships

Our licensed clinicians incorporate DBT techniques into personalized treatment plans, helping you create more balance, clarity, and resilience in daily life.
 

Whether you're looking to improve your ability to cope with stress or change long-standing behavioral patterns, DBT offers a structured and supportive path forward.
