My DBT-Informed Approach
I use DBT tools and techniques in individual therapy sessions, but don't follow the formal DBT protocol structure. This means you get the benefit of DBT's incredible skills without the requirement for group sessions or intensive programming. I'm a huge fan of DBT and integrate their most effective tools into personalized treatment.
