About

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is designed for people that struggle with over-thinking, obsessional thinking, trouble relaxing, rigid or inflexible responding, excessive self control, avoidance of feelings or expressing emotions, maladaptive perfectionism, and high levels of loneliness. People with overcontrol (OC) report "seeing the threat everywhere." They tend to mask emotional expressions, sometimes without even knowing they are. Many OC's have a high-attention-to-detail focus (other's behaviors or household or work tasks), and find they ruminate when things are uncertain or unexpected.

Overcontrol has been linked to social isolation, poor interpersonal functioning, hyper-perfectionism, rigidity, risk aversion, lack of emotional expression, and difficult to treat mental health problems including chronic depression/anxiety and personality disorders: OCPD, Avoidant PD, Schizoid PD, Dependent PD. We also work with people with social anxiety.

RO DBT targets nearly the opposite issues of traditional DBT. RO DBT is the only therapy that is specifically designed to treat overcontrol and works with client's unique biology (threat sensitivity and excessive self-control) to help with mental health issues. We treat both adults and adolescents. We'd love to help you!
