Mental Health is a Journey

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a subset of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that is designed to treat even the most resistant mental health conditions. By merging various evidence-based practices, our Columbia-trained team is able to help individuals reclaim and come to term with their lives.

What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy created for the most complex patients. Dialectical means two opposing ideas, which in the case of DBT, are acceptance and change. The DBT core four focuses on uniting this opposition through:

1. Emotional Regulation
2. Distress Tolerance
3. Mindfulness
4. Interpersonal Effectiveness

By building these four skill areas, patients learn to respond to the world around them thoughtfully, rather than reactively.

Dr. Ryan Sultan, MD Senior Psychiatrist at Integrative Psych

Meet The Founder

Dr. Sultan, son of psychiatrist, is a dual board certified mental health physician who has made it his life’s mission to explore, learn and practice the many treatments for the mind and its troubles.

Dr. Sultan’s path has led him to extensive training in therapies ranging from meditation and mindfulness to practical cognitive behavioral therapy and deep psychodynamic therapy. As a physician, he has explored how classical and innovative medical treatments can foster healing of the mind as well as personal growth.

These extensive ranges of therapies can be effective for many individuals, however they often take years to get results and many individuals hit walls in their treatment—getting only limited benefits.

Dr. Sultan founded Integrative Psych to push past the barriers of traditional mental health treatment by using naturally derived compounds in conjunction with conventional treatments such as medications, lifestyle interventions and psychotherapy to heal the pain and struggles in our minds beyond what traditional mental health treatments can accomplish.
