What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a cognitive behavioral therapy treatment that uses a multidimensional approach to help people learn skills to manage their emotions and improve their relationships. DBT typically includes individual therapy sessions and group skills training.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

Common DBT tools include:

  • Group therapy, where patients are taught behavioral skills in a group setting.
  • Individual therapy with a trained professional, where a patient's learned behavioral skills are adapted to their personal life challenges.
  • Core mindfulness, which helps you focus on the present or “live in the moment.” This helps you pay attention to what is happening inside you (thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses) as well as use your senses to tune in to what's happening around you (what you see, hear, smell, and touch) in nonjudgmental ways.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients are making progress when they are able to manage their symptoms and regulate their emotions.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can consistently practice their DBT techniques.

What should someone do to prepare for starting dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can prepare to be open, honest, and committed.

Our Family Therapy sessions have been sent from heaven. Rosalie Cespedes brings professionalism, care, experience and love to our session. It is hard to find a person that all the family respects and appreciates her advice. My two daughters and wife truly appreciate her advice and the positive changes has made to our daily lives. We will definitely continue working with her long term and encourage any family or person going through personal challenges and need professional; honest advice to try working with her. Thank you for all you have done.

Talisha Harrison helped me by giving me the tools to help me navigate some difficult relationships. I also appreciate how kind, sensitive, and empathetic she was as I have been grieving a recent loss of a parent. I have also been recovering from a serious medical condition. Should I feel the need to seek counseling in the future, I would not hesitate to return to counseling with Talisha.

So far it's OK. I say ok because there is a big age difference between the therapist and myself. Maybe by 25yrs or so.

My therapist is Lesley Petersen and I have been a patient of hers for about four months now. She has been helping me through a stressful situation that I have been going through. I would recommend her because she is easy to talk to and non-judgmental.
