Comprehensive DBT for Adults
Our DBT for Adults program is designed for individuals who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or patterns that feel out of control. DBT is a structured, evidence-based therapy shown effective for adults with a wide range of emotional regulation issues and life stressors.
Change is possible, even if it hasn’t felt that way before.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in patterns you cannot seem to break, or exhausted from trying to manage intense emotions on your own. Maybe you have tried to think your way out of the distress, telling yourself to calm down or just handle it differently, but nothing really changes. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and there is a way forward.
At Awake, we help you build lifelong skills to navigate stress, improve relationships, decrease self-destructive behaviors, and create a life that feels meaningful. DBT’s evidenced based & structured approach teaches skills you can use every day to manage emotional intensity and move toward your values.
