Welcome! At Carolina Integrative Psychotherapy, we offer services employing evidence-based practices drawing from our training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Family Systems.
The purpose of this website is to help you explore how DBT can be helpful in relationships.
  • ​On these pages, you will find resources for expanding our relationship skills. DBT or Dialectical Behavior Therapy holds that each of us can always learn more about our patterns of relating, of thinking, of feeling, and being in the world.
  • We can learn skills and perspectives that help us to be more accepting of our current lives while also more able to effectively change.
  • This ongoing (sorry, nothing is permanent) balance of acceptance and change is the core dialectic that guides our creating meaningful relationships. 
  • Individual, couple, or family sessions (waitlist) 
  • DBT Skills Training for families & friends and couples.
  • Standard DBT Skills Groups for individuals (waitlist)​
  • DBT for Couples Training-Consult Team, supervision and consultation
