I’ve been considering trying out DBT but am really put out off by the mixed reviews of its effectiveness, but mostly the INSANE cost for group therapy ($90+ per session) and $200 individual sessions in Northern California.  That’s nearly $300 a week! 

I do not have insurance and even if I did, my understanding is that DBT treatment is not usually covered.  If you are getting it covered , how ? With what insurance? How to get around this issue ? 

In Los Angeles where I lived a few years ago, I almost joined an intensive DBT county program but was on a 6 month waitlist. Due to the length of time to get in I never ended up going and sadly it would have been FREE !!! 😳

In Georgia, I found a less intensive group for DBT , but again never got to attend due to wait and the teacher was kind of flakey in my regular therapy.  Also, was free. 

Advice on help finding affordable options, charity for mental health, county/community help etc Sliding scale here is still pretty high as this is Silicon Valley. 

All help is appreciated . 🙏🏻

Thank you and good luck to all of you in your quest for help with this crap disorder.
