Heavily researched and proven effective for a number of conditions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy is one of today’s top treatment choices.
But being an in-demand DBT trainer for over 25 years taught me this – many clinicians just don’t have the time or resources to dive deep into the full DBT model right away.
That’s why I created this all-new training program …
… so you can rapidly learn the DBT skills used for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and other conditions almost all of us see in our work daily.
When you join me, we’ll go through it all in just one day. From the underpinnings of the approach to the practical application of DBT for the specific concerns of your clients.
And best of all, I’ll make it clear, actionable, and easy to implement so you can start using these skills in your very next session.
DBT is just too good of a tool to ignore, especially when it can transform your client’s outcomes.
So don’t wait.
Register now and learn to quickly integrate some of the best skills DBT has to offer into your practice.
