Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups are an evidenced-based treatment modality that teaches skills for coping with mood dysregulation, interpersonal problems, and compulsive mood-dependent behavior. While it was specifically designed for persons suffering with chronic self-harm behavior and suicidal ideation, the research has shown it to be effective for anyone needing help coping with life stress that seems above their ability to manage.

I am extensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC).
Hello! My name is Patti and I love working with adults and teens struggling with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-worth, and relationship problems. I incorporate elements of DBT, ACT, and Mindful Self-Compassion into my work and personal life. I enjoy helping others do the same in order to transform their lives. Working with me, you'll discover that I'm very casual and up-front about who I am as a person.
We are a multi-faceted therapy group using 12-step, DBT, CBT, Imago therapy just to name a few.

We provide individual, family, couples, group and Intensive Outpatient Program therapy as well as numerous psychological tests for most child, adolescent, and adult disorders. You can see our credentials and testimonials at www.behavioralwellnessgroup.com
I combine DBT and 12-step models to deal with both substance issues and mental health struggles simultaneously.
Do you or someone you love have to get sober, but struggles? Do others not understand why this is difficult, and sometimes impossible? I realize that when trying to get sober, it is important to have someone in your corner who can understand that you truly want to stop using, but just can't by yourself. My focus is a) combine our efforts to get started in sobriety, and b) learn and practice research proven coping skills to get past those overwhelming emotions in a supportive, accountable, non-threatening environment.

Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

An educational group that teaches a wide range of coping skills designed to help people with increasing mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior and Cognitive Behavior therapies.
Hello! I am a licensed psychologist with Center for Evidence Based Treatment Ohio. I work with adults and adolescents with a variety of presenting concerns, including eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, and difficulties with emotion regulation, including borderline personality disorder, suicidal urges and self-harm. Having done much of my training at university counseling centers, I also enjoy working with young adults on stress management and navigating healthy development. I provide in-person and remote services and am able to work with clients in any PSYPACT-participating state (psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap).
Coming 2024: DBT Skills Training consists of 24 weekly group sessions focused on four modules- Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Commitment to the entire 24-sessions is required, as the skills build on each other. In this group, you will learn how to apply these DBT skills responding to and coping with eating disorder symptoms and behaviors. We also discuss their application to general emotion dysregulation.
I use evidence-based approaches (CBT and DBT) to help those who struggle with behavioral health concerns.
Extremes in our emotional and psychological states can lead to imbalance, avoidance and mindlessness, and can be related to extremes in other areas of our health, such as eating, activity, and sleep. Eating too much or not fueling our bodies enough, stress or emotional eating-these are ways we cope with or respond to extremes in our thoughts and emotions, and distracts and disonnects us from our life values and goals. I am here to help you reestablish your values and goals by focusing on a more balanced perspective and awareness of your mind, body and behaviors.
Compass Point is thrilled to have expanded our Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT) program. All of the clinicians that are on the DBT team have participated in the intensive training sponsored by Behavioral Tech and the Linehan Institute, founder of DBT treatment. DBT is a highly structured and highly effective treatment for many forms of emotional dysregulation that have previously responded poorly to Outpatient Treatment. This class is on a rolling admission which allows new individuals to join approximately every 6 weeks.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Support Groups
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior 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 behavior 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, behavior, 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 behavioral 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 behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
