Our providers consistently want to improve our therapeutic skills regardless of our education, training, expertise, or length of time in the field. We believe that all humans, including therapists, are fallible and make mistakes. We encourage patient feedback directly to our staff. Additionally, we would like your input on the services you have received. Would you please fill out the anonymous survey to help us improve?
Our staff believes in the assumptions within Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, created by Marsha Linehan.

- Clarity, precision, and compassion are of utmost importance.
- The therapeutic relationship is a real relationship between equals.
- Principles of behavior are universal, affecting therapists no less than patients.
Our Beliefs About Patients

- Patients are doing the best they can.
- Patients want to improve.
- Patients need to do, better try harder, and be more motivated to change.
- Patients must learn new behaviors in all relevant contexts.
