These groups are still forming. When we have six students enrolled we will begin.

THE FIVE STEPS TO DBT Enrollment:

1. We need to set an appointment for a brief Intake on the phone, @15-20 minutes. There is no cost to you for this call.

2. Enrollment requires an Initial Consultation with me to see how I can best serve you in the group, and if this group is a good fit for you. There is a fee for this hour with me in my office.

3. You complete the four DBT registration forms that I send to you.

4. Submit your tuition check.

5. Your therapist sends me the Therapist Agreement form that I will send to you. It is a requirement of this DBT program that everyone be seeing an individual therapist weekly. They do not have to be DBT trained, but it is important to have someone with whom you can process your thoughts and feelings in between classes.
