Mindfulness
Increase awareness of thoughts, emotions, and the present moment, fostering a deeper connection to your inner experience.

Distress tolerance
Build skills to cope with difficult situations without making them worse, fostering resilience in the face of adversity.
Our unique DBT-informed approach
At cathyarmstrongwellness, DBT-informed therapy is used flexibly and thoughtfully, tailored to each client’s needs rather than as a rigid protocol. It can be used on its own or integrated with other therapeutic approaches. The goal is not perfection, but increased flexibility, self-understanding, and the ability to respond to life’s challenges with greater steadiness and intention.
Who can benefit from DBT-informed therapy?
DBT skills are incredibly helpful for individuals experiencing chronic stress or emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, difficulty regulating emotions, impulsivity, relationship conflicts, burnout, or trauma-related emotional responses. DBT is integrated into therapy for a wide range of concerns, helping you heal the emotional roots of chronic illness and find a path forward.
Experience lasting emotional well-being
After completing a DBT group, many people notice a stronger ability to pause instead of reacting, less emotional overwhelm, greater confidence in handling stress, improved awareness of thoughts and emotions, and more effective communication. You'll gain increased tolerance for difficult emotions, a sense of steadiness during conflict, reduced impulsive coping patterns, and greater self-trust. Many describe feeling more grounded, less fragile, and more resilient, with practical tools they can actually use when life gets hard.
