DBT therapy in Fort Collins with a skilled DBT therapist just for you.

---

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the 1980s, was originally created to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). Today, DBT therapy has expanded well beyond its initial focus and is used to support individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges—including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, bulimia, substance use disorders, and more.

At Empathic Insights Therapy in Fort Collins, our experienced DBT therapist provides compassionate, evidence-based DBT individual therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. We specialize in helping clients build essential life skills to improve emotional regulation, manage distress, strengthen communication, and build healthier relationships.

DBT focuses on four core skill areas:

• Mindfulness: Learning to stay present and nonjudgmental, even in emotionally charged moments.
• Distress Tolerance: Developing tools to navigate crises without making things worse.
• Emotion Regulation: Understanding, accepting, and changing intense emotional experiences.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Strengthening relationships through assertiveness, self-respect, and clear communication.

Through one-on-one DBT individual therapy, clients gain practical strategies to cope with daily stressors, reduce impulsive behaviors, and feel more empowered in their lives. Our DBT therapist works collaboratively with clients to support meaningful change, increased self-awareness, and long-term emotional growth.
