Is therapy at Wise Mind right for you?
At Wise Mind Therapy we exclusively practice Comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for adults. This is an evidenced based treatment proven to help a wide variety of people make desired changes in their behavior. DBT can help with decreasing things like anxiety, suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, impulsivity, perfectionism, extreme moods and emotional outbursts. DBT can also help with increasing emotion regulation, relationship skills, mindfulness of the moment, understanding of emotions, and increasing effective behavior that helps you build the life you want to live.
DBT believes the reason people have problems regulating their emotions is not due to them choosing to be dysregulated or because of some personal failing. Instead we believe it comes from an inborn biological sensitivity to having intense emotions, coupled with a lack of being given support or taught skills to effectively regulate these emotions. In other words,
