About Our DBT Team
Our providers are all hired because they come to EBTCS with graduate and/or postgraduate specialist training in DBT. Once at EBTCS, they receive further specialist training including at least one year of supervision by experts in DBT. Additionally, our DBT therapists receive extensive training in other evidence-based treatments that may be implemented within DBT, including treatments for depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and many others. All of our providers attend regular, ongoing trainings to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in evidence-based care. We are highly specialized to work with clients with high-risk, chronic, challenging problems.
