The DBT Center

"I've been a patient at this center for a few months. I have tay wellborn as a therapist, to be honest I'd recommend this program to anyone struggling with emotional regulation in their lives. its totally changed my outlook and opportunities and path in life so far. especially the 1-1 therapy I'm finding to be transformational and its giving me a new lease on life. the level of caring I've experienced is off the charts, better than anything I've experienced before, tay is extremely skilled. I used to worry I'd be homeless due to my emotions being so volatile. Now that danger feels far away for me since I'm using the skills they gave me. by the way I'm a software engineer and I was still worried about this as my emotions were so extreme- past tense! I'm on the path to healing here, best decision I've ever made."

"The therapist we were assigned, Makenzee Townsend, isn’t licensed—something we weren’t made aware of until after we had paid for our initial client assessment. Ms. Townsend knowingly breached my daughter’s right to confidentiality. This is an example of why I would have declined to work with an unlicensed therapist had I been informed beforehand. We spent about a thousand dollars and received no therapeutic benefit in return. Obviously, I highly recommend you find a different mental health care provider. The DBT Center is run more like a Fortune 500 business than a mental health care center--minus the customer service one would expect to receive as a paying customer from such a business. To begin with, they don’t bill your health insurance. You have to pay before you receive service, then hope you get refunded by your health insurance company. They ask for your credit card up front to keep on file, and they want you to sign a document (which I didn’t) stating that you will commit to paying for every segment of the one-year program with the credit card you provided. I will be looking into whether such a contract is ethical and/or legal in the context of mental health treatment."

"Do it do it do it!! The DBT center literally saved my life, several times and gave me skills to actually cope and do hard things. I was only able to do one round due to moving, but would HIGHLY suggest doing both full rounds. There’s no one like these guys and they hold you accountable so you actually transform your life and help create a life worth living. I went to ALOT of therapists before finding Stephanie. Once I found steph and this program I was actually able to live my life. After moving I was able to find a good therapist to finish out and do EMDR, and 3 years after going here I am thriving in my life in every way and had no idea life could be this good!! Couldn’t be more grateful for the dbt center❤️"

"I’ve met all the therapists that work at The DBT Center and they are respectful, kind, and ACTUALLY do comprehensive dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Not to mention they are genuinely interested in helping you live your best life. Highly recommend!!"

"DBT has vastly improved my life — thank you to the dedicated therapists who have established this center. This is the only therapy that has helped me not only change my circumstances, but to actually accept them, and process them in a safe environment. The people I’ve worked with in this group have provided me with skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and communicate my needs. Highly recommended."
