DBT Missouri — Collaborative Care Across the State
Providing evidence-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy with compassion and expertise
You Can Create a Life Worth Living
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful and supportive approach that helps people build a more balanced, fulfilling life. Through DBT, you can learn to reduce crises, strengthen relationships, regulate emotions, and gain greater awareness and control over your thoughts and behaviors.
At DBT Missouri, our therapists provide compassionate, nonjudgmental, and evidence-based care to help you reach your goals. We’re here to support you as you take the next steps toward creating a life that truly feels worth living.
What We Do
DBT Missouri provides Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for adults (18 and older) throughout Missouri. Our program follows the full, evidence-based DBT model to ensure clients receive comprehensive and effective care.
After your intake and orientation sessions, a typical week includes:
Individual Therapy – One-on-one sessions focused on understanding your challenges and applying DBT skills to real-life situations.
Skills Training Group – A structured group where you learn and practice DBT skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.
Skills Coaching – Between-session support (by phone or text) to help you use your skills when you need them most.
Consultation Team – Your therapist is part of a team that meets regularly to maintain the highest quality of care and consistent support for your progress.
Investment
DBT Missouri is a network of individual therapists in private practices across Missouri. We collaborate as a team to provide group skills training and ensure consistent treatment for our clients.
The group component of DBT cannot be billed to insurance, but you may be able to pursue out-of-network reimbursement depending on your plan’s benefits. Groups are billed $50 per weekly session. Most people graduate DBT after 48 weeks, for a total cost of $2,400.
The individual component of DBT is offered through each of our private practice settings. Financial arrangements vary. Some therapists offer sliding scale spots and a few of our therapists do bill insurance. For more information, please fill out our contact form to get matched with the clinician that best fits your needs.
Teenagers and Their Families
We currently have individual therapists who provide DBT services for teenagers and their guardians. While we don’t have a DBT skills group for adolescents right now, comprehensive DBT is still available through individual therapy — with skills training offered one-on-one rather than in a group format.
