No matter the diagnosis, your clients need effective skills to navigate life’s challenges. Without them positive change and healing will always stay just out of reach.

That’s where DBT comes in.

Evidence-based and relied on by thousands of clinicians, DBT is the ultimate life skills program for your clients…and one of the most powerful tools available to help them manage their emotions, cope with distress, and improve their lives.

And it gets even better.

Not only does DBT work, it transforms the way you do therapy – moving you from solely change-based models to one of skill-based learning. With DBT you can go beyond symptom management and reach the very core of how your clients think about life, emotions, and relationships.

Now you can add DBT to your clinical toolbox and get Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT) in just 3 days!

You’ll join Certified DBT Therapist Lexi Mulee who’s been using DBT in individual sessions and skills groups for nearly a decade. In 3 days of live online training she’ll share the core principles, skills, and techniques of DBT, and give you step-by-step instruction on application in a variety of clinical settings and scenarios.

With real-world case studies that make the material relatable and a dash of humor to make it digestible (and dare we say it…fun), Lexi will make sure you’re equipped to use DBT with clients right away regardless of what you treat!

PLUS you’ll get a 29-week DBT Curriculum Workbook full of exercises and worksheets to use with clients and 3-months of FREE clinical mentorship calls. That’s right, you can join Lexi for 2 hours every month to review skills, discuss cases and get ongoing support as you start using DBT in the real world.

And don’t forget, when you complete this course you can become Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT) through Evergreen Certifications at no additional cost.

This is your chance to build the skills and confidence to integrate DBT into your own practice.
