At Arevalo Counseling & Mentoring, LLC, we understand that living with Borderline Personality Disorder and enduring it’s challenges can be overwhelming. We understand that while you may not have created all the problems in your life, you do have the responsibility in resolving them. Our approach to this challenge incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). At the heart of DBT is the idea of accepting yourself while also striving for change and improvement.
DBT was originally developed by Psychologist Marsha Linehan to treat people with Borderline Personality Disorder and people who are chronically suicidal, research has shown that DBT can also be effective for those struggling with Depression, Bipolar, PTSD, Substance Use, and Eating Disorders.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers you comprehensive skills to better manage your emotions and decrease conflicts in your relationships by learning:
Mindfulness:

Interpersonal Effectiveness:
These techniques allow you to communicate with others in a confident, assertive way that maintains your self-respect, boundaries, and strengthens relationships.

“There is a tremendous need to implode the myths of mentall illness, to put a face on it, to show people that a diagnosis does not have to lead to a painful and oblique life…We who struggle with these disorders can lead full, happy, productive lives, if we have the right resources.”
~ Marsha Linehan
