Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Ottawa

Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy that is particularly helpful for individuals experiencing very intense emotions and can be used to treat mood disorders and interpersonal conflicts. It focuses on accepting feelings and thoughts. DBT addresses feelings directly through techniques focused on emotional regulation and distress tolerance.


Psychologists using DBT help clients by validating their experiences and teaching them how to validate their own experiences.
