✨ New Name, New Look, Same Heart (and terrible puns) ✨⁣
We’re thrilled to unveil our new logo and updated name — The DBT Center of Pennsylvania! 💛⁣

What started 3 years ago as The DBT Center of Media has grown into something bigger than we could have imagined. As we’ve expanded to work with clients across the state, it felt like the right time for a name that reflects our broader reach and continued commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.⁣

This new chapter comes with a fresh look, but our mission remains the same: to provide thoughtful, supportive, and skilled DBT therapy to individuals and families throughout Pennsylvania.⁣

Thank you for being part of our growth. We’re so grateful you’re here. 🌿💬⁣

I’ve always felt like a master of disguise. Slipping beneath and into different costumes and identities and trying them out. When your home is chaos and you don’t have stability, you try and assimilate as best you can to hide the messiness and embarrassment. ⁣

I thought I’d have more to say about turning 40 today. Maybe some bit of advice or wisdom but not much comes to mind. I wasn’t a kid that planned out my future because when you’re trying to just make it from moment to moment you don’t stop much to consider what you might want. I think if you asked me at 10 or 13 or 16 what I saw for myself I’d probably rattle off what I imagined most people said which was to go to college, get married, maybe have a family. Deep down though, I didn’t imagine those things for me because I didn’t imagine I’d be here at 40. ⁣

I am though. Here.⁣

You have to find your own reasons for surviving and try to find something to marvel at each day. A few years ago I did start to consider what I would want and the only thing that kept resounding in my head was I wanted an extraordinary ending. The hero’s ending. I wanted the part of the story where the protagonist stops giving a f**k what the rest of the world wants for them and instead just lives their life. When you’ve spent so much time pouring into everyone else, you reach a point where all you want is to just pour into your own cup. ⁣

So here I am. Trying to live an extraordinary life.

Hear ye, hear ye! 📣📣⁣

I’m offering a new virtual group from my practice that will create space for those with a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis (BPD) to process weekly stressors associated with this while also integrating the DBT skills you know and love! ⁣

The group is open to those who:⁣

>have successfully completed a DBT skills group at either the DBT Center of Media or another practice and can demonstrate a strong knowledge of the skills during the intake. ⁣
>those who are currently seeing a weekly individual therapist.⁣
>those who reside in PA, DE, VA or ID.⁣

There will be a maximum of 10 participants so if you meet the above and are interested please reach out! ⁣

Oh it’s just a regular day around here preparing to offer my first DBT training and what not. This truly won’t be like any other DBT training that you may have been to, and I’ve been to many. While each was informative, they all felt similar to me. My goal is to not only teach you the skills but to teach YOU how to teach the skills with clients.

I love potatoes in any form. Baked, French fries, hash browns. I also love DBT and in theory you could combine the two. ⁣

Who’s to say you can’t enjoy a potato in any form while seeing me for your virtual DBT services? ⁣

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and now…..Idaho! ⁣

Why Idaho? Because I heard ya’ll were lonely over there looking for comprehensive and adherent DBT. I am a Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinician so you could say I’m legit 🤓⁣

Long time no see! But I am back with more skills for your DBT toolbox! ⁣

This skill is the FAST skill which is part of the Interpersonal Effectiveness skill set. It’s meant to be done while also doing DEARMAN and the GIVE skill. I do have posts on both those skills as well as in my highlight reels. ⁣

This skill is particularly useful for maintaining R-E-S-P-E-C-T in a relationship. Aretha was right, not just in the spelling of the word but in that respect needs to be shown not just to others but to you! ⁣

How would you use this skill? Let me know what you think in the comments and as always, feel free to share the skill with others! 👇🏼⁣

Are you curious about DBT and a therapist? Come join my DBT Supervision and Consultation Team! ⁣

The first meeting will be in just a few weeks and will be held weekly and virtually for 60 minutes. ⁣

Benefits of being on a DBT Consultation Team:⁣

•Weekly support from other mental health professionals to reduce burnout while treating clients.⁣

•Bolster understanding of DBT concepts and receive ideas from peers as to how to better implement DBT skills. I will provide instruction on how I have implemented DBT skills and how to troubleshoot issues that may arise. ⁣

•If you are interested in applying for Linehan Board Certification in the future, I can support you with the process which can be challenging to navigate. One of the application requirements is weekly attendance to a DBT Consultation Team for at least 12-months, so attending my team meetings will satisfy this. ⁣

•Meetings are also an opportunity for practicing behavior chain analysis, skills rehearsal, the 6-levels of validation, using behaviorally specific language, and emotion regulation skills.

Wow. Super pumped! One of my favorite non-therapist activities is shooting on film. I only submitted some pictures I took on a whim but one got selected for my first photography exhibit at the MAC in March. And it’s of one of my favorite places too 😉⁣

The opening reception is Friday 3/1 5-7 PM. ⁣

This picture was taken last summer on my Nikon FG using Ilford HP5 Plus 400 📸

Hi ya! 👋🏻 I’m Erin and this is my DBT Instagram! I’m a Linehan Board Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist 🧠 and I have been in the field 10 years! I ❤️ being a therapist but there’s more to me, just like there’s more to each of you! ⁣

We are more than our careers, roles, mental health, etc. I think sometimes we forget that. ⁣

When people seek out therapy, they typically are looking for help and support to overcome struggles and problems but we often forget to add in things that bring us joy ✨! In DBT speak we call this “a life worth living”. I wanted to share some things that make me happy and make my life worth living! ⁣

What makes your life worth living? Feel free to share in the comments 👇🏼⁣
