DBT is different from other therapeutic approaches in that it has several components rather than just individual therapy sessions. These components include weekly individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching with your therapist outside sessions, and your therapist is part of a group of DBT specialists who meet weekly.

Not necessarily, depending on the severity of the presenting problems and diagnoses you may not need all of the DBT components. During our initial consultation we will assess your needs and recommend a course for treatment.

A fully adherent DBT program follows all the core principles and components of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, including individual therapy, skills training group, phone coaching, and consultation team meetings.

This can be subjective from person to person. The research done to support DBT is based on completing two full rounds of DBT skills which means doing all of the modules twice, in addition to participating in weekly individual DBT therapy sessions at the same time. In essence, it’s usually a little over one year.

Yes, we have several clients who choose to stay with their individual therapist outside of our practice. With that being said, we do require that each client be in weekly individual therapy with their therapist. Please note that we do not provide dbt phone coaching to clients seeing outside therapists as that is done with each client’s individual therapist.

We absolutely believe in collaboration. We send out emails to outside therapists every module explaining what skills our clients are learning and give an update as well on what we are observing as the group leaders. We welcome updates outside therapists as well and enjoy working in tandem with them.

Sometimes providers will say they offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) but only provide certain aspects of this particular treatment. When seeking DBT treatment, be sure to ask which components providers offer. It is important to note that not everyone needs all of these components, but for certain problems and diagnoses, research suggests that a comprehensive approach is essential. As intensively trained DBT therapists we provide a full comprehensive program to our clients and strive to be DBT adherent.

Again, you can just participate in the class but each client must commit to doing all three modules and must be in weekly individual therapy.

No, we ask that each client verbally commit and agree to do one full round of modules. Doing one module is not really participating in DBT and does not allow time or learning for sufficient change.

Yes, you can. We have therapists that offer virtual individual adolescent therapy sessions via telehealth. At this time we do not have any virtual adolescent DBT or RO DBT skills classes.
