Healthy Minds offers adherent DBT and General Psychotherapy. Treatments that work.

DBT is particularly effective for people who experience intense emotions, relationship challenges, chronic stress, or difficulty translating insight (thought) into action—a reality for many neurodivergent humans.
Our work emphasizes learning practical tools and applying them in real life—so change shows up not just in session, but in daily choices. It feels like you're doing life on purpose more of the time, while becoming more authentically yourself with each choice over each day.
It's good change.

Healthy Minds DBT Program
DBT is designed to help you build a life that feels worth living — one that is aligned with your values, supports your relationships, and gives you a clear path forward when you feel stuck.
This is not passive therapy.
It is structured, skills-based, and active, focused on helping you understand what’s happening internally and equipping you with practical tools to respond differently in real time.
Program Structure
Our DBT program is a comprehensive, year-long model that includes:
- Weekly individual therapy 53min/week
- Weekly skills group (think: class, not a show-up-and-talk group; 2.5hrs/wk)
- Between-session phone coaching for real-time support
- Ongoing skills practice and behavioral tracking
The group is where you learn the skills.
Individual sessions are where you apply them directly to your life.
Phone coaching helps you use those skills in the moments you actually need them.
This structure is intentional — and supported by strong clinical research — because it leads to measurable, lasting change.
What You’ll Learn
DBT focuses on building habits in four core areas:
- Mindfulness – increasing awareness of what’s happening in the present moment
- Distress Tolerance – navigating difficult moments without making things worse
- Emotion Regulation – reducing emotional intensity and responding more effectively
- Interpersonal Effectiveness – communicating clearly while maintaining self-respect and relationships
Most people were never taught how to do these things.
DBT is designed to fill that gap.
Program Length
- One full round of DBT modules: ~6 months
- Full program completion: ~12 months (two rounds)
Repetition is built in because it significantly improves retention and real-life application.
Client Populations
We currently offer DBT programming for:
- LGBTQ+ Adults (18+)
- Young Adults (17–27)
- 17-year-olds must be out of high school
- Emerging Adults (20–27)
- General Adult Population (30+)

Taboos + Truth
I'm non-binary AFAB and have historically struggled talking about my queer life and the specifics unique to me and being queer with therapists because they've all been straight. I was able to talk about taboo topics with C easily and she got it. Our work helped me make sense of myself and my values within my relationships, she just helped me put my life together in a really concrete way with DBT skills. Outstanding clinical work with warmth. She'll guide you through the work you need to do, but be ready to transform your life - she's always kind but she's not gonna play around. Ima get that online course tho!
JAKESHA QUIT HER JOB
Struggle trusting myself and others I hated my job, I hated my life.
I had such a deep sense of loss with the pandemic. I really thought I'd be further along in my life right now. I felt discontent with, like, everything and so . . . sad. Working through it all helped me know myself better so I knew it was the job that needed to go. And with the job went the constant dread and weight I carried around with me. Healthy Minds helped me change my life. Get the help you need. You're in the right place.
