Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT)

We are almost done with our first round of our RO-DBT Skills Class, taught by Dr. Katie Flanagan, Psy.D. We are seeking new participants for our second round. RO-DBT is an evidence-based treatment targeting excessive self-control or overcontrol (OC), characterized by traits like perfectionism and emotional suppression, which can damage relationships and lead to isolation. Each RO-DBT class skills is 90 minutes and includes homework review, mindfulness exercises, in-class exercises, and new skills teaching. The skills class runs on Tuesday evenings, in-person (170 S 1000 E, SLC), from 5-6:30pm. It runs for 30 weeks, $75/week, but clients can commit to just a minimum of 4 weeks. If you have a client who might be interested, please have them complete this online screener (specify "RO-DBT skills class") for a free consultation with Dr. Flanagan to make sure they are a good fit.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group

In conjunction with our full DBT program, we offer weekly DBT day and evening groups for adolescents, families, and adults, including a group specific to addictions. While our other groups are often open to the public, our DBT groups are only open to existing clients within the full DBT program.
