What is DBT?

DBT or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that derives from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This treatment is evidence-based intervention that was originally developed to help individuals with borderline personality disorders, but has since been adapted and proven to be effective for a range of mental health conditions. The core treatment is to develop skills to manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and better understand emotions and enhance overall well-being.

How does DBT work?

Our DBT therapists provide a safe and supportive environment to explore the root cause of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. By learning practical coping skills, you learn where to break the cycle that is unhelpful. 

The core component of DBT is divided in four modules:

Mindfulness

learning to stay in the present moment

Relationships

establish healthy boundaries & communication

Emotional Regulation

understanding your emotional system

Distress Tolerance

staying safe and in control

Do you need DBT?

DBT goes beyond positive affirmation and optimism. It encourages deep self- reflection, helping you understand core values, fears, motivations, and unique qualities that make you, you. DBT brings you back to the essentials of feeling alive, liberated, and acknowledged. Having a safe space with a DBT therapist with trauma- informed background can help alleviate the pain and suffering you might be feeling.

Why Us

Strong Roots Therapy

We believe that strong, healthy boundaries are the key to building the life you want.

The experiences you had as a child can quietly shape your life as an adult, often without realizing the beliefs that were formed as a result.

At Strong Roots Therapy, we prioritize inner-child work to gently guide you back to those formative moments, helping you understand their impact on the beliefs, patterns, and behaviors you’re experiencing today. We help you nurture a kinder, more gentle voice toward yourself – to develop the strong roots you need to grow into the best version of yourself.

Growing up as part of the Asian-American community, we understand the effect that family and social expectations can have on shaping you as a person. Our professional experience gives us the insight to guide and support you through your own journey as we work to de-stigmatize mental health in our community.

There is a real, authentic ‘you’ – we help you rediscover that person and guide you to living on your terms.

We are committed to offering therapy that is:

Authentic

Compassionate

Empowering
