DBT Consultation Group

Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy offers a consultation group for therapists who have recently trained or who wish to be trained in DBT. We meet weekly to discuss Marsha Linnihan’s work and apply her ideas to clinical case examples.

Our group will soon begin an intensive DBT training conducted by Dr. Freda Friedman and Dr. Michael Maslar. This training will be similar to the ten day intensive training offered by Behavioral Tech. It will be held on a series of Fridays from 8:30-4:30 beginning in September. This training is open to licensed therapists and advanced graduate students. Fees will be $75 per day.
