Unlock Emotional Growth for Your Child with DBT-C at The Wise Center

​

At The Wise Center for DBT, we understand that raising a child with intense emotions and behavioral challenges can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children (DBT-C)—a specialized, evidence-based therapy designed to help children and their families thrive together.

What is DBT-C?

DBT-C is an effective therapy for children aged 6-12 who face challenges such as:

  • Intense emotional reactions.

  • Difficulty managing frustrations or impulsivity.

  • Behavioral challenges at home or school.

  • Family conflict or strained relationships.

Through DBT-C, your child will learn vital skills to manage emotions, improve focus, and build stronger relationships.

  • Trauma-Informed Approach: Our therapists create a safe, compassionate space to address your child’s unique needs while respecting your family’s values.

  • Proven Results: DBT-C helps reduce family conflict, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen family connections.
