EBT Collaborative is one of the few practices in the Nashville and Franklin area offering the full, adherent DBT program as it was developed and researched. Adherent DBT includes all four required components: individual therapy, a weekly skills training group, phone coaching between sessions, and a therapist consultation team.
Many providers in the area describe themselves as DBT-trained but offer only individual therapy or a skills group in isolation. The research that demonstrates DBT's effectiveness was conducted using the complete program. That is what we provide.
