The Benefits of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Teenagers

Teenagers today are faced with an increasing amount of stress and pressure from school, peers, and social media. This can lead to emotional dysregulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and other mental health concerns. Many traditional forms of therapy are not effective in treating these issues, leaving many teenagers feeling hopeless and alone.

Parents are often left feeling helpless as they watch their child struggle with emotional distress, anxiety, and depression. They may have tried different forms of therapy, medication, and even hospitalization, but nothing seems to work. As a result, the relationship between the parent and the child becomes strained, and the family dynamic suffers. These issues can lead to a sense of hopelessness and despair for both the teenager and their parents.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health issues in teenagers. DBT provides teenagers with the tools and skills necessary to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and regulate their behavior. As a mental health therapist trained in DBT, I am able to provide teenagers with the guidance and support they need to navigate these difficult times.

Free 15 Minute Consultation

Finding the perfect therapist can be time consuming and costly. That is why I like to start with a free 15 minute consultation (over the phone) where both you and I can talk to determine if we are a good fit to work together.
