What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), created by Dr. Marsha Linehan, is an effective evidence-based treatment model using skills training to “change behavioral, emotional, thinking, and interpersonal patterns associated with problems in living”. (Linehan 2015) Originally known for its effectiveness in working with patients with borderline personality disorder, DBT has now been shown to be beneficial for numerous populations and settings.

Reinforcing the skills for mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness through music therapy can support your patients/clients who are involved in a DBT program as well as those who are not.

What Members are Saying

“ Since signing up for this membership I've found it beneficial both personally as well as for my professional career. I'm a music therapist working in a VA program, where they have a nationwide push for whole health skills, which includes mindfulness. Heaven knows my year has been crazy, and because the way everything is presented resonates with me it's really helped me. This works and makes so much sense. I can do this. It helps me be a better person which will in turn help my clients. I like that there is no time limit in processing the information and that they give us time to take it in and time to apply it.”

Ruth Hook, MT-BC

“ I joined this membership to learn the language of DBT. I like the fact that I can learn at my own pace. Some weeks I have more time than others so it’s a good balance. I have become more aware of glitches in my own life by learning many DBT concepts. It allows me to continue to grow and treat each experience as unique and inspiring - I hope to bring this to my clients as well! I feel that I’m getting everything out of the program that I expected- and more. I feel that there are many ways to reach out, ask questions, and utilize the resources provided. .”

Nola Karim, MT-BC

““I'm getting so much value out of this! It seems like I've learned more than my money's worth already.”
