How We Do it
Our approach is grounded in an understanding of Biotemperament, employing the evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT).
This therapeutic approach highlights the impact of authentic connection on emotional and psychological well-being. Whether facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, we guide individuals and groups in understanding themselves, breaking negative patterns, and fostering healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Biotemperament reflects the biological basis of emotion that impacts:
How one sees the world
How one regulates emotion
Are you easily excited about things or are you harder to impress? Do you hold your emotions for a long time or show and tell people how you are feeling immediately? These are common expressions of biotemperament.
DBT is a treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, for issues of undercontrolled coping.
RO DBT is a treatment developed by Dr. Tom Lynch, for issues of overcontrolled coping.
