Start your journey with DBTBrisbane

The DBTBrisbane Difference

We care about people struggling and want to alleviate suffering. We do this through teaching skills that help people to make the changes they want. We run a fully-adherent, comprehensive DBT program and offer a suite of other DBT-related services with some of the most highly trained clinicians in Australia.

Our Program

DBT has demonstrated significant symptom improvement for clients with a variety of mental health issues in multiple research trials.

Our program has been specially designed to help you learn how to understand your emotions and cope better with distressing feelings and events. Through DBTBrisbane, you will also learn to improve your relationships and balance your own needs & wants with those of others.

These skills are taught across three modules lasting 8 weeks each:

• Distress Tolerance Skills

• Emotional Regulation Skills

• Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills

Mindfulness Skills are also taught in each unit.

Individual sessions each week support you in using these skills in your own life.

Our Team

At DBTBrisbane, our therapists are skilled, friendly, compassionate and amongst the most highly trained in Australia. All of our clinicians have completed the DBT Intensive Training and have post-graduate qualifications in their respective professions.
