“My problems are severe and I don’t believe therapy will work for me…”
Our DBT therapists have extensive specialized training in DBT skills, assumptions, and protocol. This includes treating multiple types of problem behaviors, including suicidal thinking, impulsive behavior, self-harm, and problems regulating emotions.
“This program sounds like a lot of work and I still have commitments and things in my life I have to handle…”
It is difficult work, learning how to accept and change different behaviors, attending skills groups, and structured individual therapy. DBT is an intense outpatient treatment and at the same time, it’s designed to keep you functioning in your life (not removing you from it to do treatment elsewhere). Your DBT therapist is committed to working with you on the goal of a life worth living, if you are willing to make a commitment to DBT.
The DBT program consists of:
If the treatment doesn’t include all four components below, it’s NOT DBT.
Structured Individual
Group Skills Training
focused on enhancing clients’ capabilities by teaching them multiple behavioral skills organized in modules. The group meets on a weekly basis for 2 hours for one year. Why one year? Because it takes this long to complete all the modules twice and is the accepted length of treatment for DBT to be effective.

Questions:
How do I make a referral?
You or your therapist may call the office to make a referral for the DBT Program.
What is the intake process like?
When you call the office a clinical assistant will begin the intake process.
Do I need to change my individual therapist?
For adolescents, yes. For adults, possibly. While you are in the DBT program your individual therapist must be trained in DBT, therefore that may mean transitioning individual therapists to a member of our treatment team while you are in the DBT program. Once DBT treatment is completed, clients may elect to continue with a DBT therapist or return to their previous individual therapist.
