Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Sylvan Lake, AB
I draw from different therapies such as Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ( DBT).
Experiencing significant changes and pressures during adolescence can be something hard to navigate. These pressures can be centered around friends, school, and family issues. This heavy load can manifest in many different ways and can cause many teens to act out, pull away from family, and show signs of mental health issues. If you noticed your teen is having changes in behavior, changes to their daily activity, personality changes, mood swings, decline in their sport performance or other favorite activities, it may be time to seek some help.

Carla's pet therapy dogs and co-counsellors, Finch, Fern and their newly born Baby Tilly will be sure to great you when you arrive.

If the animals don't help you be more comfortable in session, Carla's warm clinic setting and approach to therapy certainly will. Carla offers immediate, urgent consultations and has a twenty-four-hour first appointment guarantee. Appointments can be attended in person in either of Carla's locations, in your home, or through telephone or video.

My training includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, trauma-informed, expressive arts, dialectical behavioural therapies, systemic models, EMDR and brain-spotting.
Many things in our lives are on a continuum, including the intensity of the problem, resilience, resourcefulness, and healing. Sometimes we need more guidance and help than other times, and sometimes we feel that we can manage on our own. The striving to heal or cope at our best may be subtle or more apparent in our lives, which helps to realize that change is needed, contemplate it, and act. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, eclectic, and trauma-informed.

Have you ever been told that you are being ‘too sensitive’, or ‘too much’? Do you feel overwhelmed when you try to express your emotions and end up feeling anxious about them instead? Perhaps you are struggling with negative beliefs about yourself or have overpowering emotions that have kept you suffering for a long time. What makes these concerns more difficult is feeling that close ones in your life may not understand or accept your struggles. Through striking a balance between acceptance and learning new ways to manage emotions, you will have the opportunity to live the life you value.

Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
