Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) in Chicago for emotional regulation, attachment issues, relation
At Chicago Psychology Services, Dr. Scott Hoye provides Mentalization-Based Treatment for adults struggling with intense emotions, unstable relationships, trauma-related relational patterns, and difficulty understanding themselves or others. MBT is an evidence-based therapy that helps strengthen self-awareness, improve relationships, and reduce emotional reactivity.
Mentalization-Based Treatment, or MBT, helps you better understand your own thoughts and feelings and the thoughts and feelings of others. When this capacity breaks down, emotions can feel overwhelming, relationships can become confusing, and misunderstandings can escalate quickly. MBT helps rebuild that foundation through a structured, evidence-based approach.
How It Works
In MBT, your therapist helps you slow down and reflect on what is happening in the moment. The focus is on strengthening your ability to make sense of emotions, intentions, and reactions in yourself and in other people. Over time, this can reduce emotional reactivity, improve relationships, and support a more stable sense of self. MBT can be especially helpful when attachment patterns, trauma, or chronic interpersonal stress make it difficult to feel grounded in relationships.
