  Out of the five therapists I have seen (all at other clinics, hospitals, or private practices), Rikki was by far the most helpful. I was recommended here by my old therapist when she felt that she was ill equipped to help me with my struggles with self harm and an eating disorder. Both are common symptoms of borderline personality disorder, which is what DBT was formulated to help patients with. However, a BPD diagnosis is not required for admittence, and a diagnosis isn't the focus of therapy. In fact, DBT isn't the only therapy available at the center, and you don't have to have BPD to benefit from the services. There is family DBT (I found this to greatly improve my relationship with my parents), Compassion Based Therapy, Mindfulness (I took a couple months of this and found it to help with my thought process), EMDR and trauma work, among others. Groups therapies are run with two therapists and a small group of other patients. However, it wasn't group therapy in the traditional sense, where people sit in a circle and talk about their problems. There was a focus of each meeting, which I found to be much more productive than a sharing session. Mindfulness certification at McLean Hospital for therapists, and Rikki certifies clinics in the area for DBT. To my understanding, the DBT model is followed, with both once a week individual therapy as well as group therapy. To anyone who is looking for help, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place. Therapists are knowledgeable, they care deeply, and I have seen real, tangible results. Only possible negative is cost, but from what I have seen, therapists are willing to work out a plan.
