You have thought about speaking to someone and calling for an appointment, as you have been holding so much in. You know it might be helpful to connect to a therapist. But thinking about the process of reaching out or trying to find one that fits, adds onto all the demands you have to deal with already. You wonder if there is a therapist that can relate to you, especially if it feels like there is a wall with others in your life. Or you may have been to good meaning providers that made good points, but it just didn't impact you or reach deep.

Life has gotten hard enough that you’re finally reaching out for support. You’ve been looking into counseling for a while now and you know finding the right counselor is essential. You’ve skimmed a few therapists' profiles, but no one seems like the right fit. You want someone that understands your fears and worries. Someone who gets it when you share your uncertainties about your partner being “the one” for you. You are asking for support, clarity and connection to the world around you. Connection is important to you, and it's important to me too.

Sometimes things feel hopeless, and fear can hold us back from seeking help when we are too preoccupied with being judged, especially as a parent working with a child that has mental or behavioral health challenges.

I have a lot of experience working with foster youth in the system and helping adoptive/foster parents be preventative in handling behaviors in order to strengthen attachment.

Life can be challenging sometimes depending on the difficulties we confront. The impact in our general health can be threatened because of the stressors we got. Dysfunction occurs when someone is unable to find solutions to their problems because he/she is stuck and without options. Solutions must be sought creatively to solve problems. In a therapeutic approach focused on solutions, we construct together meanings with questions leading to different possibilities of resolution. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Phoenix in Puerto Rico with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
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.
