Finding adherent DBT treatment:

When searching for a DBT Adherent Therapist it’s important to note the term “DBT”  is not a licensed or protected label. It is up to you as the prospective client to discover the qualifications of any DBT therapist you may be considering. (These guidelines are from http://www.tara4bpd.org )

Here is a list of questions to ask:

1. Have you completed a 10-day intensive DBT training through Behavioral Tech, LLC?

2. Are you a member of a DBT consultation team?

3. Have you been supervised by an expert DBT therapist?

4. Are you familiar with the main sets of DBT strategies (cognitive behavioral therapy, validation, dialectics)?

5. Do you teach skills, practice behavior analysis, review diary cards?

6. Do you do phone coaching?

7. How many clients have you treated using DBT?

8. Have you done any post-intensive specialty trainings?
