Portland DBT Institute - Enhanced Skills Training Program (EST): 503-231-7854; https://www.pdbti.org/enhanced-skills-training
·The EST Program teaches DBT skills using a group format via telehealth. This group meets twice a week, for 60 minutes each time. The groups are educational format, and are more similar to a class than a therapy group. The goal of the group is to learn and apply skills related to emotion regulation, mindfulness, tolerating distress and interpersonal effectiveness. You will also meet with the group leader for thirty minutes every-other-week to review progress and troubleshoot skills training. Clients entering the EST program are asked to have an outside provider who will sign off on a crisis management plan and a provider agreement.
