Houston DBT Center Therapists
The DBT Center team is a group of highly trained and caring professionals who are dedicated to excellence. Our team is ready to help you build the life you want to live, share and teach you the skills to decrease your loneliness and your suffering, and help you cope more effectively with difficult emotions and situations. We also specialize in providing therapy for children to address emotional and behavioral challenges while supporting parents with tools and strategies to help their children thrive.
At our practice, we are dedicated to fostering a compassionate, supportive, and inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected. We honor the diverse identities and cultural backgrounds of our clients, striving to offer culturally competent and affirming care. As part of our commitment to antiracism, we actively challenge bias and discrimination, continuously educating ourselves to ensure that our practice is a safe space for all individuals. We believe in the power of healing through understanding and collaboration, empowering clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work towards personal growth, resilience, and improved well-being for all.
All our therapists are fully trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and also offer other evidenced-based treatments such as Radically Open DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parenting therapy, trauma treatments, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and more.
