TESTIMONIALS

Real stories from real people

DBT teaches skills that everyone can benefit from, wish it were a course in high school! If you’ve had traditional cognitive therapy in the past you will find that DBT is different; it really helps you develop a tool box of skills that can be used in everyday life. The therapists at ADBTA are fantastic – calm, intuitive and knowledgable. They collaboratively works with you to develop an action plan to deal with issues. Highly recommend Austin DBT!

I’ve been going to Austin DBT for less than a year but the positive impact on my life from individual therapy, the most communicative and understanding psychiatrist, and group classes for further skill development. Austin DBT helped turn my life around from a downward spiral and their layers of therapy helped in a way I think individual therapy alone would have not worked.

It can be hard to find the right therapist for your teen, but this therapist has been a godsend for our daughter. She aces it in every way: She’s an empathetic listener, is insightful, and builds and maintains trust (including with parents) by creating a safe space for the healing journey to unfold. The growth and progress we’ve seen in our daughter — and more importantly, the strength she has found in herself — has been amazing.
