DBT Skills Coaching

 

What is DBT Skills Coaching?

 

DBT Skills Coaching is a scheduled call with Alicia Paz MA. You'll first create a plan of action that addresses your Target Behaviors (TBs) that you either want to decrease or increase. Then you'll discuss skills that can be used to help achieve your goal. You can also plan ahead for difficult situations or work through specific skills issues.

 

Are Skills Coaching right for me?

​

Skills Coaching may be right for you if...

  • you are seeking more support in using DBT skills

  • you are knowledgeable in DBT skills and could use help making them work for you

  • you struggle with when to use skills or what skill to use when

  • you are seeking guidance in using DBT skills

​​

When is DBT Coaching not appropriate?

 

If you are in crisis, an immediate risk to yourself or others, DBT skills coaching may not be the level of care you need at this moment. DBT skills coaching is a great space to de-brief a challenging situation and review how and when DBT skills may have been applied and how to use skills in future distressing situations. 

 

How much does it cost?

 

The DBT Coaching plan has three levels. The first session focuses on building rapport and creating a plan of action including a list of TBs you and Alicia will be working on together.  The session frequency is flexible.

​

3 one hour-long sessions - $405 (10% off)

5 one hour-long sessions - $600 (20% off)

10 one hour-long sessions - $1050 (30% off)
