DBT for Anxiety

DBT for Anxiety in Long Beach & Irvine, CA

Overcome Anxiety with Specialized DBT Treatment

What Makes Us Different?

🏥 Only center offering both DBT & RO-DBT in Long Beach & Irvine.

📚 Specialized DBT Skills Groups – most other providers don’t offer these.


How DBT Helps With Anxiety

DBT is more than just talk therapy. It's a structured, skills-based approach designed to help you:

  • Learn to manage mood swings, frustration, and sadness more effectively.

  • Focus on the present moment and observe thoughts and feelings without judgment.

  • Handle stressful situations without avoiding them or resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms.

  • Build better communication skills and stronger relationships.



Why Choose Our DBT Program?

While many therapy centers claim to offer DBT, few adhere to the full, research-backed model. Our team includes a clinician who is DBT-certified, ensuring you receive the highest level of expertise. We also provide structured skills groups, a critical part of DBT that many other providers skip.

DBT for Severe Anxiety Disorders

If you've tried other treatments with limited results, DBT could be the approach you need. DBT can be particularly effective for:

📚 People with severe anxiety disorders
🩺 People with social anxiety.
🤝 People who struggle with emotional regulation and impulsive behaviors.
✍ People who have not found success with other therapies.

DBT vs CBT for Anxiety

While both approaches are effective, DBT offers unique benefits. What sets DBT apart from CBT is its dual focus on change and acceptance. DBT helps you manage distressing thoughts while also accepting and validating those feelings.

DBT skills prioritize emotional regulation, which is especially helpful for high levels of anxiety. The interpersonal effectiveness component of DBT provides additional benefits for relationship challenges caused or worsened by anxiety.
