Stress Management Toolbox: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Techniques

This class is offered through partnership with Akhila Health and will be taught by Zoe Peltz and is a new 3–part workshop series that is designed to provide tools for handling stress.

Derived from clinical experiences working in psychiatry, Zoe Peltz will teach various dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) techniques that can provide both acute and long-term relief from stress. DBT is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that focuses on accepting difficult feelings and emotions while learning skills to change behaviors.

Zoe Peltz is a third-year medical student interested in pursuing a career in either psychiatry or neurology who believes in the power of a holistic approach to medicine.

“A passion of mine has been working with women and it has been a great pleasure to teach at Akhila Health since 2021! ” — Zoe
