Work through intense emotions with DBT.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy designed for people who experience very intense emotions. In many cases, people who benefit the most from DBT have borderline personality disorder, but this form of therapy can be beneficial for those with other mental conditions, too.
DBT is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but it is specifically adapted for those who experience emotions on a very intense level. By definition, dialectical means intertwining opposite ideas, and DBT is meant to help people accept their reality while teaching them to change their lives, including the behaviors that are not serving them.
Suzette Bray has years of experience practicing DBT. Her goal when taking on new patients is to find the balance between validation and helping her patients change their thoughts and behaviors. With DBT, Suzette’s goal is to help her patients learn new skills while improving the way they manage their emotions. Suzette currently provides DBT to patients over telehealth in California and two other states. While comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is comprised of many different elements, Suzette offers DBT-informed, a modified form of this treatment that uses the principles of DBT treatment in individual sessions.
Suzette also offers trainings to organizations and clinicians who want to learn or fine-tune their understanding of DBT. She provides consultations on basic DBT principles, DBT treatment, and the development and implementation of DBT.
Suzette has a passion for training clinicians interested in implementing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into their practices while also bringing more evidence-based care to the mental health field. Contact the practice of Suzette Bray LMFT today to schedule a therapy appointment or to learn more about her training and consultation availability.
I offer dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to clients in Studio City, Burbank, Brentwood, Los Feliz, and the rest of California, as well as Arizona and Florida.
