Intro to DBT Training - Hybrid in person Orlando or zoom

Gain, or build upon, a foundation in the theory, therapeutic style, and 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 - anyone struggling with stress, strong emotions, or interpersonal conflict.

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.

At the end of this training, participants will be able to provide DBT-informed individual therapy and will be provided with an 9-session protocol.

This training will be offered in a hybrid in-person or virtual format (with in-person attendance 10% discounted to incentivise in-preson learning!). Students or interns are eligible for 50% off with discount code.

We do need to reach a minimum number of participants by 12/19 in order to offer the in person option, so please register soon!
