Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Tucker, GA
These approaches are tailored based on your needs, and tend to include: Client-Centered, CBT, Interpersonal, DBT, Insight-Oriented, Trauma Focused, and Narrative Therapy, among others.
I most enjoy working with men and women who have gone through various forms of trauma, and helping them get to a point where they can begin to fully enjoy their lives again. It takes a brave individual to be willing to look at and sort through their own stuff. Many times, past traumas have weaved their way into our lives and are operating in our current circumstances. Trauma impacts the way we react, our willingness to be vulnerable, our communication, expectations, physical health, and most of all how we perceive ourselves. I am very interested in patterns of trauma that are passed from one generation to the next.

My studies have included training in minorities and domestic violence, DBT, EMDR, TF- CBT, Play Therapy and conflict resolution.
Life transitions and struggles offer the opportunity to find greater clarity of purpose, more meaningful relationships, increased confidence, and personal satisfaction. To be human is to feel emotion, both the highs and the lows. We are all connected through not only these experiences, but through the relationships with those around us. Therapy is a unique and personal journey built on mutual trust and respect. My perspective is strengths-based, LGBTQIA-affirmative, and integrative. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, bodies, and beliefs. My approach is individualized and collaborative.

Everyone deserves a space that is completely dedicated to them. As a therapist, my goal is to provide just that—a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can be your authentic self.

Regardless of what brings you in, my goal is to provide a space where you can be yourself, explore your emotions, and find new ways to approach life’s obstacles.

I help clients to reconstruct their relationships with trauma, loss, anxiety, and with the other people in their lives.

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.
