DBT Level I Training

Gain, or build upon, a foundation in the theory and basic skills of DBT!

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the evidence-based treatment developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD, ABPP, for the treatment of suicidality, self-harm, emotion dysregulation, and severe behavior dyscontrol. These skills can be applied across a wide-range of clients.

This 2-day training is for providers new to the model or wanting to deepen skills and abilities through learning to dialectically teach skills individually or in groups.

Level 2 training will be offered virtually in March following participation in Level 1. At the end of this training, participants will be able to provide DBT-informed individual therapy and will be provided with an 8- session protocol.
