Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Beverly Hills, CA

In our busy lives, we often find ourselves saying, "that's good enough" or "I guess that'll do." These phrases can signify a pattern of merely getting by and settling for less. I believe that you deserve more than just "good enough" in your career, passions, relationships, and overall life. It's time to break free from going through the motions and start aiming higher. You don't have to settle for fine.

You walk on eggshells & constantly need to watch what you say for fear your partner might blow up. You often feel confused & now distrust yourself; have trouble making decisions & feel like you lost yourself or don't know the person you used to be.

Along with providing you with skills to thrive day-to-day, we will also uncover and explore unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can be more conscious of what's holding you back from being who you want to be.

My approach to therapy is characterized by a mixture of directness, playfulness, engagement, and nurturance. I believe that relentless curiosity and self-exploration leads to a sense of identity and purpose and an understanding of our place in the world.

Individuals looking to redefine place and purpose in the world after change, especially unwanted, is hard work.
