TADBiT is excited to announce two new DBT Training Teams, respectively led by Katherine Schulz and Johnna Pilipchuk.
ONE. DBT Training Team led by Katherine Schulz.
The key goals are:
Strengthen clinical application of DBT
Increase fidelity to DBT principles
Learn how to use the DBT team as an integral part of DBT treatment
Licensed therapists and associates are welcome. Group will meet monthly for 6 sessions. Start date will be last week of February (Time and day TBD). Cost is $80 per group session
TWO. DBT Training Team led by Johnna Pilipchuk.
“For those of you who don't know me, I have been a DBT therapist for over thirty years. I've provided individual DBT therapy to adults and teens, taught adult and adolescent/parent skills classes, and I've led and participated in DBT Consultation Teams. I most recently taught DBT Skillz for Therapists along with John Mader, LMFT. I completed my DBT Intensive with a team in 2011 and we are still meeting to this day. I am excited to offer a DBT Training Consultation Team that will meet the third Wednesday of the month for ten months beginning February 18, 2026.”
If you aren't familiar with a DBT Training Consultation team, it is a DBT Consultation Team for therapists who have not completed a DBT Intensive Training and want to learn more about applying the therapy adherently in their own practice. Practicing Linehan-adherent DBT requires that a therapist be part of a consultation team in order to provide consultation and self-care for the therapist.
A therapist is appropriate for this team if you:
want a thorough overview of adherent DBT
attended some DBT skills training classes
attended a workshop on DBT therapy
are familiar with DBT and want to send individual clients to a DBT Skills Class
are a student and want to dive deeper into DBT therapy
would like to learn along with other therapists and share consultation
This team will be structured very much like a standard consultation team, but with a focus on learning the therapy as well as applying it. We will use the text, Doing Dialectical Behavior Therapy: A Practical Guide by Kelly Koerner. Each session will also include case consultation.
Team will meet on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM on my professional version of Zoom. Meeting dates are: February 18, March 18, April 15, May 20, June 17, July 15, August 19, September 16, October 21, November 18 The cost of the team is $80/meeting. If you pay for the entire ten sessions on or before February 18, the total will be $750 (a savings of $50).
