Dbt Center Chicago

At DBT Center Chicago, we help people with big emotions build lives worth living. We are a specialty outpatient group practice offering adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in a compassionate, structured, and deeply supportive environment. Our services include individual therapy, DBT skills training groups, phone coaching, and team consultation, following the comprehensive model originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. We support individuals and families navigating intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and relational challenges—especially those who haven’t found relief through traditional therapy. Our mission is to reduce suffering by offering real skills, genuine connection, and evidence-based care. DBT Center Chicago is a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification (DBT-LBC) certified program, reflecting our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care. Our clinicians are part of a collaborative, values-driven team grounded in excellence, integrity, and compassion. We invest deeply in training, mentorship, and ongoing supervision to support clinical growth and ensure fidelity to the DBT model. Whether you're a client seeking meaningful change or a clinician looking to do purpose-driven, research-supported work—we’re here to help. Learn more at
