Implementing DBT is cultural, structural, strategic and purposeful; it is layered in daily practice and achievable with execution. TIC will work with you and your organization to identify where you are, where you want to be, and how to bridge the gap.  We can begin work with you at any point in the implementation and/or training process.  We focus on consistency, persistence, and purposeful action.  We offer targeted support for the person, the program and the system.  We understand that teaching, learning and doing DBT is an iterative process requiring buy in and support from all stakeholders and that it requires clear and concise planning.  We work with the system, the program, the team, and the individual practitioner. 

Implementation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy: We provide focused support developing individualized programs all the way through the continuum of care in any setting.  We work to support executive and programmatic management goals and mandates, clinical, front line and direct care staff.  We assess and set goals (clinical and administrative), meeting with administration, clinicians, and direct care staff in order to prepare a clear path for what comes next.  We work with everything from training all levels of staff to enhancing documentation and reporting.  We tailor training and consultation to meet the demands and constraints of each program and system using a combination of in person and online training formats.

Basic Dialectical Behavior Therapy Training: We provide a variety of trainings focusing on different aspects of DBT – orienting to the overall treatment, teaching and coaching DBT Skills, providing individual therapy in DBT, DBT case conceptualization, and running effective consultation teams in DBT. We tailor to any constraints or requests to support goals and planning. 

Core Clinical Training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy© (CCT): Our Core Clinical Training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy© is intensive training to support individuals and teams with learning how to do Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These trainings are offered in open enrollment formats several times throughout the year. It can also be offered onsite to specifically target your system and agency staff. When working directly with systems, training can be provided in a variety of formats to accommodate schedules, fiscal year, mandates, populations and setting type.

Advanced Teaching to Teams and Programs Administering Treatment: We use case based teaching, video review, and assessment to strengthen clinical and programmatic skills. We tailor advanced teaching to specific needs including, but not limited to, therapist burnout, secondary targets, dialectics, commitment, advanced level skills training, consultation team support, and the basics of behaviorism.

Consultation: Consultation can be the glue that holds individuals and programs together as they navigate the demands of DBT and their systems.    We provide support for individuals, teams and organizations as they build programs and implement DBT.  Regular consultation is a primary building block supporting clinical and programmatic development.  We consult with teams brand new to DBT and those with well established DBT services.  We regularly support leadership with planning, teams in transition, or clinicians addressing specific client needs.  Consultation can be the simplest, most cost effective way to get started or keep growing. 

Team/Systems Assessment in Preparation for Certification and Accreditation: We work with teams and systems all over the world as they plan and prepare for individual, skills and programmatic certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy as offered by the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification. We have extensive experience working with individual clinicians as they prepare and proceed through DBT Certification. Our goal is to move you through the process as quickly as possible and at your own speed. We begin with an assessment of current practice through case conceptualization and session reviews of your DBT client. We then work collaboratively to formulate a plan for strengthening skills and content as needed. We can work on an individual basis or with a team that has multiple members seeking certification. If working with a team seeking certification, we work to combine effort and resources through group consultation and feedback.

Expert Dialectical Behavior Therapy Consultation: We provide clinical and programmatic consultation for team development and/or to support preparation for DBT-Linehan Board of Certification.

Train-the-Trainer: We work with clinicians and administrators to identify a plan for sustainability and developing internal experts.
