DBT unites us…

“DBT has transformed my unit and myself including my career and my personal life. With DBT, our adolescents have significantly improved outcomes compared to TAU (we published 4 peer reviewed articles on this). As a multidisciplinary team, DBT unites us and gives us a common language and set of tools to care for our patients. I believe in “doing DBT on all levels” so I use my skills and wholeheartedly believe skills save lives!”

Alison Tebbett-Mock, PhD

High fidelity to the DBT model…

“Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, Herrick Campus launched a new DBT program in early October 2015 at the partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. We offer intensive DBT to people who need more support than typical outpatient settings provide. Ongoing consultation and training with Behavioral Tech Institute has fostered excellent clinical care and high fidelity to the DBT model.”
