Overwhelmed by your emotions? We Can Help.
Do you ever feel like your emotions are out of control? That no matter how hard you try, your emotions are taking over your life? Are you struggling with self-criticism, angry outbursts, or deep sadness that leave you feeling isolated, frustrated, and exhausted? That even when you try hard, sometimes the overwhelming emotions feel impossible to manage?
It’s hard to keep relationships going when you push others away or second-guess yourself. But you want peace– in your mind, in your relationships, and in your daily life. You might feel trapped, unsure of how to break free from these emotional highs and lows, or how to finally feel in control of your life.
Imagine feeling more grounded, calm, and confident, and able to deal better with the curveballs life throws your way. Picture yourself navigating everyday challenges without your emotions hijacking your thoughts or actions. Whether it’s handling stress at work, managing family relationships, or having difficult conversations, you’d respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. Imagine being present with the people you care about and being able to advocate effectively for your needs.
You could have a life where you don't feel guilty about your emotions, and where you no longer feel like your emotions are controlling you.
How We Help:
We specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—a structured and research-based approach that’s designed to help you regain control of your emotions and your life. DBT isn’t just about managing your emotions—it’s about building a life you experience as worth living. Through DBT, you’ll gain the tools to cope with stress, improve your relationships, and build a deeper sense of self-worth.
DBT helps by teaching you skills to manage emotions, relationships, and stressors:
Mindfulness – We’ll teach you how to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings so you can respond instead of react. This helps you break free from the cycle of overwhelming emotions and regain a sense of calm and clarity.
Distress Tolerance – Life doesn’t always go as planned. These skills teach you how to manage emotional pain without turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. We’ll give you practical strategies to handle tough moments when things feel like too much.
Emotional Regulation – You’ll learn how to identify and understand your emotions without letting them control you. With DBT skills, you can navigate any emotional storm, reducing the intensity of your feelings and learning how to manage them effectively.
Interpersonal Effectiveness – Whether it’s improving communication with partners, asserting your limits at work, or strengthening friendships, DBT skills teach you how to interact with others in more effective ways, while still being authentic. You’ll learn to assert your needs, manage conflicts, and build stronger, more supportive relationships.
Our DBT program provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can identify your emotions, learn these essential skills, and make meaningful progress toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
