DBT stands for Dialectical behavioural therapy. DBT is an evidence-based treatment focusing on building emotion regulation skills, reducing problem behaviours including high risk behaviours, & teaching participants skills to bring long-term balance to their lives.

The group element of our DBT group program is not a 'sit in a circle & share' kind of group!

It's an education-style group, so the focus is on learning new skills & concepts. You don't have to share anything you don't want to.

And we never do ice-breakers!!!

Medicare rebates are available for our in-person group programs, with a GP referral.

Rebates for individual in-person & telehealth sessions are also available with GP referral.
