What Is Comprehensive DBT?
-
Individual Therapy
Weekly Individual Therapy is designed to support you in working towards your Life Worth Living. The therapy is structured and incorporates daily reflection on your emotions and goals.
-
DBT Group
DBT Group provides a place for folx to learn and practice mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance skills. Using these skills in daily life can revolutionize one’s relationship with self and others. Teens attend group along side their caregiver so that everyone is learning and practicing skills.
-
Phone Coaching
Sometimes people need support in between sessions to work through life’s challenges. Phone coaching is brief and supports clients in using their DBT skills to stay on their path towards their Life Worth Living.
-
DBT Consultation Team
To practice Comprehensive DBT, clinicians need feedback and support from other DBT clinicians. Feedback strives to help the therapist implement the therapy accurately, with precision and compassion.
-
Family Therapy
Adolescents tend to improve with healing in their family relationships. Family therapy sessions aim to enhance understanding and connection between family members.
Questions to consider while in therapy:
Can I take risks here?
Can I share what I like and don’t like, even about the therapy?
Can I share my skepticism?
I aspire to create a culture where the answers are “yes” to the above.
Why Choose to Work with Me?
There are a lot of good counselors in Northern Colorado and this is what distinguishes me from the rest:
Experience. I have been providing therapy to people experiencing emotional pain and difficulty for over 15 years, including 6+ years on a post hospitalization team at Colorado State University and 4+ years doing in-home family therapy.
Allyship. I have awareness of my privileged identities and strong values in supporting those who experience oppression. The harms caused by macro and micro aggressions based on gender, race, neurodivergence, age, body size, sexual orientation, etc. is significant.
Training. My years of training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as Multisystemic Therapy, both evidence based treatments rooted in treating high risk behaviors, are a perfect blend for providing support to young people and their families. I am also trained in DBT Prolonged Exposure for PTSD.
Personality. I hope you will find me to be warm, down-to-earth, ethical, competent, practical, matter-of fact and inspiring.
Professional Goals. I aspire to become a Linehan Certified DBT therapist and to constantly improve my knowledge base and awareness of cultural humility.
Billing & FAQs
-
Therapy is an investment in your future and your relationships. Similar to renovating your home, therapy may serve as a remodeling of your internal landscape, deconstructing old ideas and behaviors that don’t serve you anymore for something new. I do not take insurance which allows me time for phone coaching. I am an approved provider for Victim’s Compensation for the 8th Judicial District.
