INDIVIDUAL 

THERAPY

​At DBT Ozarks, we provide individualized therapy for people navigating strong emotions, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Through one-on-one sessions, we focus on developing practical tools, deeper insight, and greater self-compassion in order to help you move forward with balance, purpose, and gentle strength.

 

WHEN IS INDIVIDUAL DBT THERAPY MOST HELPFUL?

​Individual DBT therapy can be especially supportive when life feels overwhelming or out of balance. You might find this work helpful if you:

  • Feel emotions that come on intensely or are hard to manage

  • Notice repeating patterns in relationships or self-talk that leave you feeling stuck

  • Struggle with anxiety, impulsivity, or sudden mood shifts

  • Crave a safe space for deeper self-understanding, healing, and personal growth

  • Feel ready to look at your patterns with curiosity, exploring both acceptance of where you are and the possibility of meaningful change

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Safety & Acceptance  You’ll be welcomed as you are, without judgment

  • Emotional Tools  We’ll build skills to stabilize intense feelings, reduce reactivity, and increase calm

  • Mindful Awareness  You’ll grow capacity to pause, observe, and choose thoughtful responses

  • Improved Relationships  You'll gain clarity and confidence in how you relate to others

  • Sustainable Growth  We’ll craft goals and steps that feel manageable and motivating

  • A Little Discomfort Therapy is a space for growth, which sometimes includes a little discomfort

We are equipped to provide both Comprehensive DBT and DBT-Informed treatment, utilizing whichever approach best fits your specific needs.

Most clients attend therapy weekly, though frequency can vary based on your unique needs and goals.

We do not currently work directly with insurance. However, we can provide detailed receipts (super bills) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Individual therapy sessions are $180.
