You need help.

It’s hard to be in a relationship with someone who is suffering.  We treat teens and adults and offer support to the people who love them.

In our Parent/Affected Others Skills Groups or through personalized coaching we teach parents, partners and caregivers strategies for setting healthy boundaries, improving communication and dealing with a family member’s overwhelming emotions.

We can also coach you to respond to risky or self-harming behaviors such as explosive anger, suicide threats or cutting.

You are not alone.  We are here for you and your family.

How can DBT help?

We see it work every day.  Progress depends on each client's willingness to fully participate in learning and integrating skills into their lives. 

Research tells us that DBT can significantly reduce suicidal ideation, ER visits, and inpatient admissions...and greatly increase life satisfaction.

We can help you:

  • set clear boundaries at home

  • improve communication with people you love

  • manage the challenges that come up in families when someone is struggling

  • deal with a family member's overwhelming emotions

  • respond to self-harming or dangerous behavior

Our biggest hopes for you and your family when you leave our program:

  • Your loved one will feel capable of mastering their emotions

  • You and your family will have concrete skills you can use for life

  • You will have the feeling you can survive anything life sends your way

  • You will feel relieved of the stress of uncertainty

How do we get started?

  1. Call us at 425-615-0605 to schedule an intake appointment and get the process started.

  2. Once your family member attends their intake appointment, they are assigned an individual therapist to work with at DBT Eastside.

  3. They will then begin their DBT Skills Group.  You will be referred to the Parent/Affected Others Skills Group for family members. 

No Show/Late Cancellation Policy for Intake Appointments
Failure to attend a scheduled Intake appointment without providing notice (No Show) or providing less than 24 hours notice (Late Cancellation) is very disruptive to our Intake Coordinator’s scheduling efforts and may prevent us from serving other requests as important as yours. A $100 fee will be incurred for missing your Intake session under these conditions.  Please be prepared to provide credit card information at time of scheduling. Your card will not be charged unless the fee is incurred.
We do understand that situations may arise that cause late cancellations and no shows.  The $100 fee will be waived if you choose to reschedule your appointment with 24-hours notice.
