What individuals do we accept for the program?
Where do I begin?
The phone intake will allow the clinical assistant to gather information so that they can match the individual with a DBT clinician who will best meet their needs. It is not uncommon for there to be a waitlist ranging from several weeks to several months.
What insurances do you accept for the DBT Program?
At this time Medicare, Tricare, and Medicaid plans are not accepted for the DBT program. We are not in network for Cigna.
We also have self-pay rates and there is some limited availability to work with a clinical assistant at a reduced rate.
What is the evaluation process?
The DBT program begins with a 4 session evaluation. The goals of the evaluation are to:
1) assess the client diagnostically including for any trauma
2) orient the client to the treatment goals and identify treatment targets
3) Make a treatment recommendation with the client
4) Allow for the client to review the contract and make an informed choice in treatment.
What does the commitment to DBT look like?
Treatment includes: weekly individual sessions, weekly group skills training lasting 1 ½ hours, phone coaching, and consultation team.
What groups do you offer?
The adolescent group requires at least one parent to attend. The parent must complete an assessment and sign a treatment contract for group only prior to joining the group.
We also offer a Friends and Family program. Family members and partners learn skills to better cope and support their loved one struggling with emotional dysregulation. It is based on the work of Perry Hoffman, Alan Fruzzetti, Marsha Linehan, and Shari Manning. Please note, this group does not provide treatment, it is only meant as a source of information and support. This group is self pay only for $40.00 per session.
