Greenville DBT Collective

Greenville DBT Collective is a mental health clinic in Greenville, SC, composed of licensed mental health professionals who deliver comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy to individuals across the Upstate of SC. The therapists operate as independent practitioners while working together as a single DBT consultation team, a structure considered necessary for the delivery of evidence-based DBT. They offer standard DBT for adults, including individual therapy, skills training, and coaching calls, with services available both virtually and in person. Many therapists in the collective also work with adolescents ages 13 to 18, and some provide an adapted DBT program for children ages 6 to 12 and their parents.

The collective follows the evidence-based treatment first developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., originally created for borderline personality disorder and now used broadly with individuals whose emotions feel difficult to regulate. Each therapist in the group completed intensive DBT training with the Behavioral Tech Institute, and they meet weekly for consultation to maintain treatment quality. The team includes therapists trained in standard DBT, DBT for Children (DBT-C), and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT). Providers see clients through individual therapy paired with skills training, and treatment length generally runs about 9 to 12 months for adults and around 7 months for adolescents, depending on how quickly a skills cycle is completed. The collective runs a DBT-A multi-family skills group and an adult RO-DBT group in the evenings. Providers are out-of-network with all insurance companies, though they provide documentation that clients can submit to their insurers for potential reimbursement.

The clinic's downtown office sits on Manly Street in Greenville, about a tenth of a mile from Memorial Patio, the Pettigru Street Historic District, and Brockman Park, with the Greenville Zoo roughly 0.2 miles away and East North Street close by.

For adults struggling with intense emotional experiences and for families seeking DBT for younger children, Greenville DBT Collective brings together some of the most thoroughly DBT-trained clinicians in the Upstate under one coordinated treatment model.
