What Is Atlanta DBT Therapy and Who Does it Help?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy created by Dr. Marsha Linehan. She created it to help people who experience intense emotions and harmful behaviors. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now considered an effective treatment option for a range of mental health disorders. This includes anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorder.
DBT focuses on teaching mindfulness skills, emotion regulation strategies, distress tolerance skills, and interpersonal effectiveness. These four key areas help individuals respond to life’s challenges in healthier ways. At Novu Wellness, we use DBT to support those navigating suicidal thoughts, self-destructive behaviors, emotional regulation issues, and relationship conflicts. The goal is always to create a life worth living, one based on your unique needs and values. Contact us and we’re here for you.
