The DBT Clinic

Our Mission: The DBT Clinic is committed to using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), supported by other modalities to help people alleviate suffering and build their lives worth living. DBT is an evidence-based therapy that promotes skills in mindfulness, impulse control, emotion management and interpersonal effectiveness. We are dedicated to providing treatment with compassion and professionalism in a safe environment.

Who we’re looking for: We offer Full Fidelity DBT therapy, and DBT Informed therapy. We are willing to train professionals in the modality. A successful candidate with us will be looking to engage in 1 on 1 counseling, as well as leading DBT skills groups of up to 8 members. We also look for someone who can work within a close, supportive, and collaborative team environment. If you have experience or desire to work with adolescents and family systems, that would be a bonus!
We’re accepting LPC, LMFT, Registered Associates, LCSW, Bilingual Clinicians

Inclusivity: As clinicians, we are formally trained within Western psychological tradition. While we value the knowledge in that system, we also understand its significant historical problems and limitations. Therefore, The DBT Clinic staff and clinicians actively work to unlearn cultural racism, sexism, homophobia, systemized perspectives, and silencing. Toward that end we: *work to establish an environment that is free from emotional and physical harm * expand our knowledge and understanding through regular and on-going trainings *commit to learning, growing, challenging and supporting each other in our advocacy *continually scrutinize all policies and procedures *strive towards an equitable experience, providing each person the resources and opportunities to serve the needs of our clients and staff as defined by them.

Our administration is dedicated to building a diverse staff which reflects our community by enacting anti-racist, anti-ageist, anti-ableist, anti-heteronormative, and anti-sexist hiring and retention practices. Please refer to our Policies and Procedures for a detailed list of action items.
