Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a form of evidence-based psychotherapy which aims to teach people to use skills and strategies in order to move forward and live a meaningful life. The term "dialectical" comes from the idea that exercising two opposites—acceptance and change—brings better results than either one alone.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects attention span and concentration and can also affect how impulsive and active the person is. People with ADHD often have trouble paying attention and focusing on tasks, they tend to act without thinking, and have trouble sitting still. It is one of the most common disorders among young people.

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition with a broad range of symptoms including challenges with, social skills, repetitive behaviours, emotional and behavioural regulation, speech and nonverbal communication.

Depending on their area of specialization, psychotherapists may provide family therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy or talk therapy. If you are looking for someone who can help you work through challenges with mood, emotional regulation, relationships or talk therapy, you are looking for a psychotherapist.
