“Both of the DBT groups I’ve been in at Cincinnati Center for DBT have been some of the best groups I’ve ever been in.”

DBT Prolonged Exposure Protocol
For individuals with PTSD, it is important that we target this in standard DBT. We utilize the DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE) protocol for those clients who identify PTSD as a priority in treatment. Click here to learn more about evidence-based PTSD treatments.

What is DBT Phone Coaching?
What is DBT Phone Coaching? Have you ever been in an emotional crisis? Maybe you’ve had some difficult, everyday situation and you don’t know what to do about it. Or maybe you struggle with suicidal thoughts, addiction, or some other maladaptive behaviors and you’re right on the brink of doing the one thing you’ve sworn to yourself you weren’t going to do anymore. Imagine how beneficial it would be to have access to your therapist in those moments. That’s what DBT phone coaching is all about. Phone coaching allows you to have access to your therapist 24/7 so that you can have support in these difficult moments and use the help of your therapist to use your skills effectively and choose a new path for yourself.
