RO-DBT > Overcontrol

We provide clinical assessments and evidence-based treatments to address the following areas of concern. Diagnoses we frequently treat include:

  • Chronic Depression

  • Anxiety

  • some Personality Disorders

  • Anorexia Nervosa

  • Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder

Clients learn new ways to understand themselves, interact with others, open themselves to opportunities and experiences, and to feel connected with others and the world around them. We also utilize communication, openness, and flexibility to address and relax over-controlled emotions. Behaviors can be addressed specifically using skills that are learned in a combination of settings. We teach clients skills to support the outcomes they desire.
