Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Therapy in Tulsa, OK

More Skills. More balance. A life that feels like yours. 

DBT helps you understand  your patterns, manage intense emotions, and develop practical tools that actually work in real life. For teens, adults, and parents, DBT offers support for the whole village. 

Is DBT right for you?

Feel overwhelmed by your emotions or can't seem to manage them. 

React in ways that you later regret. 

Shut down or withdraw when things get hard. 

Struggle with relationships or feel like they're always intense or exhausting. 

You might benefit from DBT if you:

Want to communicate better but don't know how. 

Notice the same patterns showing up again and again. 

You don't just want to talk, you want real tools to help manage stressors. 

DBT with Kids

Kids have big emotions too, they just don't always have the words, or skills, to know what to do. DBT therapy can help children build emotional awareness, cope with frustrations, and learn healthier ways to respond when things feel overwhelming.

 

Being a teenager often comes with feeling everything intensely. DBT helps teens slow down, manage intense emotions, navigate relationships, learn healthier ways to cope, and have the autonomy to make choices that reflect the person they want to become. 

DBT with Teens

DBT for the Whole Village

DBT for Adults

Adults can often understand the unhealthy patterns we get stuck in, but we don't always know how to end those patterns. DBT therapy helps adults build practical skills to manage emotions, respond instead of react, strengthen relationships, and make choices that are safer, healthier, and moving them closer to the life they envision. 

Parenting can bring out some things that we thought we healed from. Unhealthy patterns, over the top reactions, and words we later regret. Especially in moments where our kids need us the most. DBT helps parents pause before reacting, validate without giving in, hold boundaries while staying connected, and model the skills they're asking their children to learn. 

DBT for Parenting

Because learning new skills is easier when we practice them together.

The Heart of DBT

*DBT skills are useful and beneficial for everyone! However, if you are looking for comprehensive DBT this requires a commitment to individual and group therapy. If you are searching for a comprehensive approach, I am happy to discuss this with you during consulation.*
