About Us: Therapy for Elders Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (2010 – Present)
Our Story
Therapy for Elders Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (TEDBT) was founded in 2010 with a vision to revolutionize the way elders receive mental health support, specifically tailored to their unique needs. The idea emerged from the recognition of a growing gap in accessible and specialized therapy services dedicated to older adults within the community. We set out on a mission to bridge this void and create a space where elders could find comprehensive, evidence-based treatment options, fostering improved mental well-being and enhanced quality of life.
Over the years, our website has evolved from a modest online platform to become a trusted resource hub for individuals seeking Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) specifically designed for seniors. We have navigated milestones, continuously refining our content and services to meet the evolving needs of our readers.
Our Purpose and Values
At TEDBT, we are committed to providing unbiased, accurate, and up-to-date information on DBT therapy tailored for elders. Our core values revolve around respect, compassion, and evidence-based practices:
- Unbiased Information: We strive to present impartial resources, ensuring that our readers receive unbiased guidance in their therapy journeys.
- Accuracy: All content is meticulously researched and verified to maintain the highest standards of accuracy.
- Reliability: We ensure that the information provided is reliable by drawing from credible sources and expert opinions within the field.
Addressing a Critical Need
The internet, while brimming with health resources, often lacks focused, specialized content for older adults seeking therapy. TEDBT aims to fill this gap by offering a comprehensive, user-friendly platform dedicated exclusively to DBT for seniors. We recognize that navigating mental health options can be challenging, especially for an aging population often facing unique barriers to care. Our goal is to simplify the process, providing valuable insights and resources to empower elders in their pursuit of well-being.
Target Audience and Engagement
Our primary audience comprises older adults (age 65+) seeking DBT therapy or their caregivers/family members looking for guidance. We serve a diverse range of individuals facing various challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and coping with significant life changes.
