Hands down the best therapy on the market…

“I believe without question DBT is hands down the best therapy on the market for most all needs from marriages to Individuals with most mental health diagnoses.”

Ted Campbell, LPC

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

Life and career changing…

“The experience was life and career changing for me. [The] instruction, the demonstrations, and the daily mindfulness all came together to not only give me a new and fresh perspective on this treatment – but a new look at myself and my future path.”

Jordan Moore, Participant, Foundational Training

Information and training very helpful…

Exceeded my expectations…

“The trainers were amazing – extremely skilled and genuine. Their self disclosures were funny and touching. And they didn’t just answer our questions, they continually checked in to see how we were holding up”

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.”
