DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a comprehensive program offering individual therapy, telephone consultation and a DBT skills group. The focus of DBT is to improve the quality of one’s life and to decrease destructive behaviors that have been causing a variety of problems that may include self-harm, significant suicidal thinking, extreme mood swings, substance abuse, relationship turmoil, etc..
I am a founding member of Greater Portland DBT which offers comprehensive DBT programming to adults and adolescents. In 2021, I became the first person in Maine to be a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™.
