At Pacific DBT Collaborative we view psychotherapy as an opportunity to learn new ways of solving old problems. We are warm, dialectically oriented therapists that help clients create a life worth living through the practice of mindfulness and acquisition of skills. We work to meet our clients where they are in the moment with acceptance and validation while working towards change. We know this works as we have witnessed individuals transform their lives of suffering and despair into ones of joy and possibility. We offer in-person and online individual therapy and skills training for clients seeking treatment in the East San Francisco Bay Area and California at large.
Our team of highly trained DBT therapists is equipped to treat a myriad of clinical problems. We place a special treatment emphasis on:
borderline personality disorder
emotion dysregulation
bipolar disorder
self-injury
suicidality
trauma
substance abuse
depression
anxiety
shame
perinatal mental health
"Maybe the fear is that we are less than we think we are, when the actuality of it is that we are much much more." Jon Kabat-Zinn
COMMITMENT TO ANTI-OPPRESSIVE PRACTICE
In our professional and personal lives, we at Pacific DBT Collaborative are committed to reducing the suffering of others due to racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-semitism, xenophobia, ageism, ableism, and other forms of oppression. We further commit to doing social justice work to promote the wellness of all and uplift the voices and experiences of marginalized communities. We agree to approach situations with humility and curiosity; and fully acknowledge our own biases in any given situation based upon our life experiences and the privileges associated with our social and clinical positions. ​
