About Us
At Southwest Colorado DBT, we have taken on some hefty goals. First and foremost, we strive to provide compassionate and effective therapy that is rooted in an extensively research-based model. We are committed to upholding the standards of comprehensive DBT and to pursuing ongoing training in this model of therapy.
In addition, Southwest Colorado DBT was formed with a unique mindset of therapist wellness over agency profit. Each therapist has control over their own schedule with no expectations regarding the number of clients they see. This work can be emotionally exhausting, and a healthy and present therapist means better care for clients. There is no “person or people at the top” who are making passive income on the backs of those who do the frontline work. We believe that in the mental health and medical fields, the current accepted systems of care often lead to burnout, a loss of talent in the field, unethical practices, and in the end – a lower quality of care for clients.
