The only therapist in Acadiana certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I work with adults who have intense, easily roused, slow to settle emotions and problematic behaviors. Just experiencing feelings this way can be exquisitely painful, causing you to suffer. In addition, people tend to do things to cope with this highly unpleasant level of emotion that end up causing them further problems. I use DBT to help. The goal is for you to have a Life Worth Living.DBT helps you understand that there are reasons why feelings are so difficult for you. Then, together, we learn how to regulate your feelings so that you no longer suffer because of them. And you learn to cope in ways that no longer hurt you or anyone else.I am the only therapist in Acadiana to offer a DBT Skills Group along with individual sessions and coaching calls. This is standard, comprehensive, full-strength DBT. Your weekly fee covers all of these services, no matter how many coaching calls you initiate.
