Recovery DBT is an outstanding mental health resource for those in and around Marietta, Georgia, who want to create meaningful improvements in their daily quality of life. Under the leadership of Iain Halstead, LCSW, the team at Recovery DBT offers a range of services designed to assist patients as they navigate their way to enhanced mental health. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a form of psychotherapy, commonly called “talk therapy.” The approach is similar to cognitive behavioral therapy but tailored to help people who tend to experience emotions more intensely than most. Many people turn to Recovery DBT after numerous attempts to find relief from mental health challenges. The practice also offers an intensive outpatient program for those who are ready to dedicate themselves to achieving measurable improvements in how they feel and function each day. The 7-week program has a great track record of success. What works for one person won’t always work for the next, but dialectical behavior therapy is an option that helps many people find lasting relief from serious mental health issues and go on to live active, productive, and fulfilling lives. Residents of Marietta, Georgia, who are ready to try a new approach to mental health and wellness should set up a time to come in and meet the Recovery DBT team. Booking options include a simple phone call or a visit to the online scheduling page.

Every emotion comes with an action urge.

Sometimes following that urge is effective. Other times, it can move us further away from the life we want.

In , Opposite Action is used when an emotion doesn't fit the facts or when acting on the emotion would be ineffective. It involves intentionally choosing a behavior that is opposite to the emotion's urge.

The goal isn't to get rid of emotions. The goal is to respond in ways that are consistent with your values and long-term goals.

Last Friday, our Recovery DBT team had the opportunity to attend the Adolescent Resource Collective, connecting with fellow professionals dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of adolescents.

We’re grateful for opportunities like these to build relationships, share resources, and strengthen the network of support available to teens and their families throughout our community.

Because comprehensive care starts with connection and collaboration.

A little team bonding from last Friday night, karaoke edition. 🎤🎶

We’re incredibly proud of the team we’ve built. This is a group of talented, compassionate people who care deeply about the work they do, the clients and families they serve, and the people they work alongside every day.

That kind of team deserves a night to have some fun together.

We're beyond grateful for this crew and everything they bring day in and day out.

Flexible Mind Fridays đź§ 

We can get stuck in certainty. "I know what they meant." "This is definitely going to go badly." "There's no other way to look at this."

Flexible Mind doesn't ask you to assume you're wrong. It asks you to pause and consider: What might I not know yet?

That's a smaller question than it sounds, and a harder one. It doesn't require you to abandon your read on a situation, only to leave room for information you don't have yet. You can trust yourself and remain open at the same time.

Flexible Mind is a core skill in , which we recently launched at our new Alpharetta location. is built for overcontrolled coping styles: perfectionism, rigid thinking, emotional inhibition.

Want to join an upcoming virtual roundtable on this? DM us for an invite!

Flexible Mind Fridays đź§ 

What if you could be confident in your perspective… without needing to be certain you're right?

That's the heart of Flexible Mind: staying open to the possibility that you may not have the whole picture. Not abandoning your convictions, but holding them with enough openness to keep learning.

Yesterday we officially launched our Radically Open DBT program at our open house in Alpharetta. RO DBT is designed for overcontrolled coping styles: perfectionism, rigid thinking, emotional inhibition and Flexible Mind is one of its core skills.

Curious whether RO DBT is right for you or someone you love?

Some days it takes less to feel overwhelmed.

Lack of sleep, illness, ongoing stress, or other vulnerability factors can increase the intensity of our emotional responses. Recognizing these patterns isn't about blaming yourself. It's about understanding what your mind and body need.

In , we learn skills to reduce vulnerability, strengthen emotional resilience, and respond more effectively when emotions arise.
