About

At the forefront of treating emotion regulation disorders stands Laura Byler, MS, LPC, NCC, a specialist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the founder of Tulsa Dialectical Behavior Therapy, LLC. With a career spanning over a decade, Laura has dedicated herself to mastering and implementing DBT, particularly in treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Laura's journey into DBT began during her ten years of practice in an agency setting, where she recognized a significant gap in available treatments for BPD. This realization sparked her passion for DBT and led her to form a DBT peer consultation team, developing both adult and teen DBT programs within the agency. Her commitment to this evidence-based therapy culminated in the establishment of her own group private practice, Tulsa Dialectical Behavior Therapy, LLC, where she continues to lead her consultation team and provide comprehensive DBT services.

As a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™, Laura brings the highest level of expertise to her practice. Her educational background includes both undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, providing a solid foundation for her specialized work. Laura's dedication to advancing the field is evident in her role as an LPC-candidate supervisor, where she focuses on training other therapists in the adherent application of DBT.

Laura's expertise extends beyond her primary focus on BPD. She is skilled in treating a range of disorders including substance use disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders. Her practice offers various levels of DBT treatment, from comprehensive DBT to DBT-informed therapy, tailoring the approach to each client's specific needs.

Dual licensure in Arkansas and Oklahoma allows Laura to serve a broader community, bringing her specialized skills to clients across state lines. Her extensive training, including DBT Advanced Intensive Training, DBT for Couples and Families, and Intensive Training in the DBT-Prolonged Exposure Protocol, showcases her commitment to staying at the cutting edge of therapeutic techniques.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Laura brings a personal touch to her practice. As a wife and dog-mom of three, she understands the importance of balancing professional expertise with personal warmth. Her love for travel and interest in home decorating hint at a well-rounded individual who can relate to the diverse experiences of her clients. Originally from Arkansas and now residing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Laura brings a blend of Southern hospitality and professional rigor to her therapeutic approach.
