Understanding Minds.
Transforming Lives.
Most therapy models focus on what you think. MBT focuses on how you understand thinking itself.
Mentalization-Based Treatment strengthens the capacity to understand behavior — our own and others' — in terms of underlying mental states. It builds curiosity where assumptions once lived, and transforms relational chaos into something understandable.
