\n

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I begin working with clients who have experienced trauma, one of the most helpful first step is understanding where you are in your healing and what skills you may already have tried. DBT provides a strong foundation for this work. Its core principles include distress tolerance, mindfulness and \u201cfinding the middle path,\u201d interpersonal effectiveness (relationship skills), and radical acceptance. Together, we explore which skills help you feel grounded and mitigate trauma triggers, which ones feel overwhelming, and how to build a toolkit that actually supports your daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people tell me, \u201cDBT\/CBT skills are great\u2026 but what do I actually do<\/strong> with them?\u201d<\/em> This is where ACT becomes essential. ACT helps bridge the gap between knowing<\/strong> skills and actually feeling<\/strong>, believing<\/strong>, and living<\/strong> them. Using ACT, we work on connecting skills to your values, reducing self\u2011judgment, and learning how to apply what you\u2019ve learned in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For clients navigating chronic emotional distress, complex PTSD, or co\u2011occurring medical conditions (such as Traumatic Brain Injury, developmental disabilities, chronic substance use, or long\u2011term disability), healing can be less direct. CPT helps us understand your patterns of thinking, your survival adaptations, and the impact of conditioning and trauma on your worldview.
Using CPT alongside DBT, we work on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
