What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

We work on the four different chapters: ·Mindfulness·Distress tolerance·Emotional regulation·Interpersonal effectiveness

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

Some of the tools that I teach are:

  • Dive response
  • Self-soothing with five senses
  • Radical acceptance
  • Opposite action
  • Emotion validation

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients show improvement when they improve the way they react to life's setbacks, enhance communication with others, and demonstrate the ability to self-regulate.

Clients can supplement their therapy with:

  • Yoga

I recently switched from "Doctors On Demand" to "Thriveworks." I am seeing both a psychiatrist and a talk therapist. Both have thus far been exceptional. My psychiatrist is thorough in evaluating how medications are effecting me and advising possible alternatives if we need to reconsider a course of action. I appreciate his holistic approach to my treatment, probing how diet and other lifestyle choices may impact my emotional well being. My talk therapist listens carefully to me, shares a central theme that emerges from our session and recommends exercises that help delve deeper into issues that impact my ability to cope and thrive. I amvery happy with their service. Thank you.

Although, I haven't known Pedro for a long time it is clear that it doesn't take a long time to realize Pedro is compassionate, helpful and a supportive person. Pedro encourages friends and colleagues to strive to their highest potential. Pedro has immaculate management skills. I remember Pedro consistently emphasizing the importance of treating people the way you would like to be treated.

Pedro is an excellent clinician who's primary concern is his clients wellbeing. He goes above and beyond to provide the best clinical care for his patients, and creates an individualized treatment plan to help assist with their specific needs. The clinical world is far better off having someone like this practicing in the field.
