Clinical structure with enough humanity to feel like therapy.
DBT Alberta is part of STG Health Services Inc. The service brings together counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, skills training, and structured DBT pathways for clients in Alberta.
Acceptance and change are both part of the work.
Understand the function
We look at why a behaviour or response makes sense in context before deciding what needs to change.
Practise observable alternatives
Treatment focuses on specific skills and behaviours that can be used in the situations where the old pattern appears.
Review whether treatment is working
Targets, functioning, outcomes, client feedback, and clinical risk inform whether the plan should continue or change.
Meet the clinicians.
Assignment is based on scope, clinical fit, availability, insurance or funding requirements, and the treatment pathway. The full team is not involved in every service.
