It's not easy! Transitioning into this life phase brings up a lot of questions, feelings, and thoughts.

Whatever it is, we are here to listen and to help you navigate this confusing and winding path.

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) helps individuals regulate powerful and overwhelming emotions. It works across many settings (private, schools, hospitals) with many different groups of individuals (children, adolescents, young adults, adults, families, parents).
