Dialectical behavior therapy in Ann Arbor, michigan

Feel deeply, without feeling out of control.

Your emotions aren’t the enemy. Learn how to build healthier responses with DBT.

Maybe you’ve been told you’re β€œtoo sensitive” or β€œtoo much.”

Maybe you struggle with intense emotions, relationship stress, impulsive behaviors, or feeling like no one understands. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, but talking about the problem wasn’t enoughβ€”you need actual skills to change the way you handle life.

That’s where DBT comes in.

What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you balance emotions, improve relationships, and create a life that actually feels manageable. At Hive Wellness Collective, we provide DBT therapy to help you develop practical, real-world skills that give you more control over your emotions, thoughts, and actionsβ€”without losing what makes you you.

DBT could be for you if:

  • Your emotions feel too intense, unpredictable, or out of control.

  • You struggle with relationships, boundaries, or feeling misunderstood.

  • You use self-destructive behaviors to cope with distress.

  • You’ve been told you’re β€œtoo sensitive” or β€œtoo much.”

  • You’re ready to learn real skills to make life feel easier and more balanced.

You don’t need to be less emotional. You need the right tools to manage emotions effectively.

DBT is about balance: learning to accept yourself while also developing healthier ways to manage emotions, relationships, and stress.

What We Help With:

  • Emotional regulation – Learn how to stop feeling consumed by emotions and manage them with confidence.

  • Tolerating distress – Gain tools to handle stress, frustration, and pain.

  • Impulsive/self-destructive behaviors – Develop strategies to pause, reflect, and regain control.

  • Relationships and boundaries – Improve communication and build stronger, healthier connections.

  • Mindfulness and self-awareness – Learn how to stay present, reduce reactivity, and gain clarity over your emotions.

    Big emotions don’t have to mean big chaos. With the right skills, you can learn to manage stress, regulate emotions, and respond instead of react. DBT is about breaking freeβ€”from emotional overwhelm, from impulsive decisions, from patterns that don’t serve you.

    Life doesn’t have to feel this hard. Let’s make it easierβ€”together.

You don’t have to live in constant overwhelm, chaos, or self-doubt. You deserve tools that actually workβ€”and we’re here to help you build them.

Here’s what makes our approach different:

  • Strengths-Based & Nonjudgmental – We don’t see emotions as a weakness. We help you recognize your emotional depth as a strength and teach you how to work with it instead of feeling controlled by it.

  • Real Skills, Real Results – DBT isn’t just talking about feelingsβ€”it’s about learning practical, proven techniques that help you handle life with more confidence and control.

  • Personalized, Not One-Size-Fits-All – Your struggles and experiences are unique. So is our approach. We tailor DBT strategies to fit you, not force you into a box.

  • A Safe Space for Growth – You won’t be judged for feeling β€œtoo much” or struggling with emotions. We get it, we see you, and we’re here to help.

  • Support That Goes Beyond Sessions – Change doesn’t happen overnight. That’s why we provide ongoing support, real-life applications, and a space where you can practice and grow at your own pace.
