DBT To The Bone!
A DBT CONSULTATION GROUP

DBT Consultation is a MUST!
Touted as “Therapy for the Therapist,” DBT consultation is a key component of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. If you’re not in consultation, you’re not doing DBT! While consultation can be one-to-one, it is often best to participate in a regular group with fellow DBT practitioners to check in on client’s and one’s own emotional wellbeing to receive dual support.
HMHC is a proud host of regular DBT consultation regardless of employment status (at HMHC) or state lines. We playfully named the group DBT To The Bone!
In our consultation cohorts, we discuss the intricacies and risks of our cases to ensures safety and results for our clients through best care. Consultation is a meeting of the minds; all clinicians have blind spots and burnout limits. Check-ins and case analysis with other DBT providers helps therapists clear their heads and analyze their client’s challenges with refreshed eyes.
