The DBT Clinic

Specialties

Life can be messy and feel overwhelming, and sometimes we can feel ill-​equipped to handle it effectively. We might find ourselves having a difficult time controlling our emotions and reacting in ways that we later regret. Perhaps we blow up at others, pushing those closest to us away; or we might turn on ourselves with self-​criticism, self-​harming behaviors and/​or thoughts of death. We can find ourselves trapped in troubled relationships, or stuck in worry and despair.

Sound familiar? If you, or a loved one, can relate to this, then you have come to the right place. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) may be helpful for you! The DBT Clinic in close-​in Portland, OR provides full fidelity DBT services, including individual and group therapy from our highly trained staff.
