Building a Life Worth Living One Skill at a Time

DBT Counseling and Coaching Collective

DBT Counseling and Coaching Collective (C3) was birthed from Maribel's passion to bring quality care with a proven modality such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. DBT C3, specializes in treating and supporting individuals, adolescents, and families who suffer from depression, anxiety, BPD and other psychological disorders.

Maribel and her team are excited about working with anyone ready to figure out how to live as the best version of themselves; whether it is finding freedom from trauma, depression, anxiety, transition, parenting challenges, BPD or other psychological disorders.

What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive, evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help individuals struggling with chronic and severe emotional dysregulation. Originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT has proven effective for a range of challenges, including:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder
Substance Use Disorders
Bipolar Disorder
Other conditions involving intense emotions

DBT works by balancing acceptance and change, empowering clients to manage emotions, improve relationships, and build resilience. Research consistently affirms DBT as the gold standard treatment for BPD, with up to 85% of individuals achieving remission when they receive comprehensive DBT.

Who Can Benefit from DBT?

DBT is especially helpful for individuals who:

Struggle with emotional regulation
Experience self-harm or suicidal thoughts
Live with BPD
Face relationship challenges or intense interpersonal conflict
Seek skills for creating emotional balance and improving their quality of life

Untreated emotional dysregulation and BPD can lead to poor outcomes, including frequent hospitalizations, co-occurring substance or eating disorders, and high suicide risk. DBT provides a path toward lasting change and recovery.

What to Expect from DBT

DBT helps you build a foundation for emotional stability through four key skill areas:

Mindfulness: Learn to live in the present moment and develop greater self-awareness
Distress Tolerance: Manage emotional crises with healthier coping strategies
Emotional Regulation: Understand and effectively manage your emotions
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Strengthen relationships and improve communication

During sessions, you will engage in practical exercises, reflective discussions, and actionable steps to integrate these skills into your daily life. DBT provides a structured yet compassionate framework to help you move forward with hope and confidence.

DBT Approach

We deliver DBT in a structured and supportive way, tailoring the therapy to meet your unique needs using trauma-informed care. Our approach includes these four core components of DBT:

DBT Skills Training Group: A group setting where you will learn practical skills for mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Individual Therapy: Personalized sessions focused on applying DBT skills to your specific challenges and life circumstances.
Phone Coaching: Access to real-time guidance for applying DBT skills during moments of crisis or emotional distress.
