Individual and group therapy for emotional extremists: Do intense emotions interfere with your life? What would you be doing differently if your (emotions, thoughts, anxiety) were not causing problems for you? How can increased connections decrease isolation and depression? With 20+ years of experience, I help people stop blaming their moods and make specific steps to experience their life differently. I focus on helping you act according to your values and develop a collaborative, reality based, practical treatment agenda.
My small groups are intimate, cohesive, and focused on growth. Openness, transparency, being fully present, and the willingness to be vulnerable decreases isolation, depression, and emotional pain. Small groups are a way to “ask your community” about current conflicts/ relationships and to obtain skillful means of facing life while keeping your self respect.
Visit my blog on my best advice on How To Survive Painful Life Situations or practice a mindfulness with me on YouTube: DBT Skills with DrReneeHoekstra. Mindfulness 4 SOAR Skills. Or find my book The Emotional Extremists Guide to Handling Cartoon Elephants on Amazon.

I am especially good at helping people with emotion regulation, mood reactivity, emotional confusion; helping people manage intense and extreme emotions, behave with self respect, act according to values, live in reality, understand the value and functions of what emotions do for you. Reducing painful extremism can also happen with community and group/ connecting deeply with others.

Effective therapy helps people to 1) Increase Cognitive Flexibility (perspective taking, reducing extremes, polarizing/ blaming, solving problems) and 2) Regulate Emotions (flexibility with intense and painful moods). My training with Contextual/ Behavioral Sciences focuses on 1) how behavior functions/ serves you (or not!) and in what 2) context/ conditions/ why does this happen now?
