Exploring Dialectical Behavioral Therapy at Nashville Mental Health

Your Path to a Brighter Tomorrow
Welcome to Nashville Mental Health! We help people feel better and handle challenging emotions through different types of therapy. One of our primary services is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).  This therapy teaches you skills to manage feelings, improve relationships, and handle stress. Our kind therapists are here to support you on your journey to feeling happier and healthier.

Decoding DBT

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a talk therapy that helps you learn how to handle difficult emotions and improve your relationships. It uses a mix of thinking and mindfulness techniques to help you accept and change behaviors that might be harmful.  DBT teaches you four primary skills: mindfulness (being aware of the present moment), distress tolerance (handling stress without making it worse), emotional regulation (managing your emotions), and interpersonal effectiveness (getting along better with others).  These skills help you understand and control your emotions, leading to a more balanced and happy life.

Who Can Benefit from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

People with solid emotions or mood swings
Those who struggle with self-harm or thoughts of suicide
Individuals with eating disorders
People dealing with substance abuse

What to Expect in DBT Sessions

In DBT sessions at Nashville Mental Health, you will work with a therapist in a supportive and structured setting. You will learn and practice DBT skills, talk about your progress, and work through any problems you face.  Your therapist will guide you through exercises and give you homework to help you practice these skills in your daily life. Each session is tailored to fit your needs to help you get the best results.
