Having completed DBT Foundational Training and DBT Training for Adolescents & Caregivers through Behavioral Tech - established by Dr. Marsha Linehan - Trish integrates Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) principles into her practice. She was drawn to DBT having noticed the changes clients were able to experience through the dialectical approach of acceptance and change, as well as through learning DBT skills, which deepened her passion for working with young people and families.
