What Is DBT?

DBT is comprehensive treatment program developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, based on Dialectics and Biosocial theory. This treatment focuses on the reduction of self-injurious and impulsive behavior, increasing management of extreme mood disregulation, improving cognitive distortions, and decreasing crisis-oriented and chaotic interpersonal relationships.

Our program was developed by Patty Gardner-Goodof, LICSW & Barbara Devine, LMHC. We provide Skills Training Classes which adhere to Dr. Marsha Linehan's model. We have been providing Skills Training Classes for almost twenty years. Our new clinician joining the team is Maura Pilotte, LICSW.
