Are intense emotions controlling your daily life? Do relationship conflicts feel overwhelming and endless? At Mind, Body, Soulmates, our experienced DBT therapists provide comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy services to help high-functioning individuals, couples, and families in Wheat Ridge and Denver develop lasting emotional regulation skills and healthier relationships.

Our team specializes in helping successful professionals—attorneys, nurses, engineers, and business owners—who excel in their careers but struggle with perfectionism, overwhelming stress, and relationship patterns rooted in earlier life experiences. Through evidence-based dialectical behavior therapy, we provide the practical tools you need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity.

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a proven cognitive behavioral treatment that combines acceptance and change strategies to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Originally developed for treating borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy has expanded to effectively address various mental health conditions including eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and complex trauma.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, DBT therapy focuses on teaching practical skills you can use immediately. Our comprehensive DBT approach emphasizes four core skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These DBT skills provide a foundation for lasting emotional stability and relationship satisfaction.

Our Comprehensive DBT Treatment Approach

The Four Pillars of DBT Skills Training

1. Mindfulness Skills Learn practical mindfulness techniques you can use anywhere—during work stress, difficult conversations, or daily challenges. Our mindfulness skills training helps you observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, developing greater self-awareness and conscious response choices.

2. Distress Tolerance Develop distress tolerance skills to navigate crisis situations without making them worse. Learn techniques like radical acceptance and one moment distress tolerance strategies that help you weather life's inevitable storms while maintaining your values and relationships.

3. Emotion Regulation Master emotion regulation skills to understand, influence, and effectively manage intense emotions. Our emotion regulation strategies help you identify emotional triggers, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and maintain emotional stability in challenging situations.

4. Interpersonal Effectiveness Build stronger relationships through interpersonal effectiveness skills that teach boundary setting, confident communication, and conflict resolution while maintaining self respect. Learn practical techniques for asserting your needs and navigating relationship challenges.
