Mindfulness Practice

DBT Phone Coaching
$20 | 5 minutes (first 5 minutes each week are free)
DBT Phone Coaching is charged in 5 minute increments. The first 5 minutes of each week is free, after which it is billed at $20 per every 5 minutes. The week resets on the day of your regularly scheduled DBT individual therapy session. DBT Phone Coaching is meant to be brief, between-session supports to help you utilize your DBT skills outside the therapy room. DBT Phone Coaching is not crisis counseling, a crisis line, or "phone therapy".
DBT Phone Coaching is only available for clients receiving Comprehensive DBT.
