No, we do not accept insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. The therapists in our collective are out-of-network with all insurance companies. We can offer “tips” for talking to your insurance company about being reimbursed for what you pay. If you were to begin one of our comprehensive programs, you may request documentation (“super-bills”) to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. You can also use the website/app, Reimbursify, to simplify the process of submitting your out-of-network claims.

At this time, all individuals who are interested in our services will be added to a waitlist for assessment. We are unable to provide a specific estimate for when an assessment may be offered to individuals on the waitlist.

IMPORTANT: When an assessment opening becomes available, our referral coordinator will contact you by phone to offer a specific day and time for assessment. You will have 24 hours to return our call and claim the time that was offered; otherwise, this assessment will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. If the initial offering does not work for you, we ask that you return our call within five business days to let us know you would like to maintain your spot on the waitlist for future assessment openings. If we do not hear from you within five business days, you will be removed from the waitlist.

The therapists in our collective adhere to a comprehensive DBT structure. Therefore, all clients receiving DBT services through GVL DBT Collective must participate in both individual therapy and skills training with member(s) of the collective.

All sessions are offered during normal business hours, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday-Friday. However, our multi-family skills groups (for adolescents/young adults) and our Radically Open-DBT (RO-DBT) groups are held in the evenings.

You can find more information about our programs here. For general information about DBT, please visit Behavioral Tech, LLC.

Generally, the length of treatment is based upon how long it takes clients to complete one cycle of skills training. For adults, this is anywhere from 9-12 months. For adolescents, this is approximately 7 months.

Currently, we do not have any psychiatrists who are members of GVL DBT Collective. However, we are happy to provide clients in our care with recommendations for psychiatrists outside of our collective. Please be aware that many psychiatrists have waitlists, and some may not be accepting new patients at the time we provide you with the referral/recommendation.

At this time, all initial interviews are completed at our main office (14 Manly Street), unless otherwise specified when this appointment is scheduled. The location of weekly appointments will depend on the program, service, and therapist(s) recommended for the client. Please know you may need to travel to multiple office locations for your recommended services.

At this time, GVL DBT Collective does not provide DBT for children (DBT-C). Our programs are generally designed to work with individuals who are 13 or older. However, it is possible that one of our adolescent programs could be appropriate for children as young as 12, depending on developmental maturity. Please contact us directly if you wish to discuss this in further detail.
