"I was very resistant to DBT initially, the thought of a group didn't sit well with me. Now, after 2 rounds of DBT, I wish I had done it sooner. It is by far the best thing I have ever done. I didn't know it was possible to be this calm and in control of my emotions..Dr. Rebecca, you are simply fabulous."
