(Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Our DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) programs help you to recognize triggers that create emotional conflict and stress. Our DBT programs are tailored to the individual and may include individual counselling sessions and/or DBT skills groups to help clients learn new ways of coping to avoid unwanted outcomes in relationships with family, friends and coworkers. We will help you identify and build on your strengths. We will show you new ways of thinking, feeling and communicating that will improve your ability to accept and tolerate other points of view and express your feelings effectively.
