The DBT Center of San Diego is the most effective treatment out there. Their providers are top notch and really well trained. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! It is not easy an easy treatment but it is worth it. The DBT treatment team works really hard to ensure the best for their patients. With a team of brilliant providers, they are able to work together to best support the people they serve. They have the BEST individual sessions, block hospitalization, offer phone coaching, have DBT skills groups, and family sessions. The DBT Center will transform you! Shoutout to my homegirl (and therapist), Ms. Liz Byrnes for being the kindest and most caring person I have ever met.

Amazing facility

Having earned a psychology degree and been successful as a certified life coach, I am always interested in learning new methods and techniques that are effective in obtaining the best results possible. I found Dr. Browns YouTube DBT videos very informative and I plan to recommend them to individuals who struggle with difficult emotions.

Im so glad you find my videos useful. I am working hard at creating free online educational content to help people learn DBT skills for emotion regulation. I share them through YouTube - you can find them by searching DBT San Diego

Unprofessional providers. I do not recommend sending those you love here. The quality of service was unimpressive for services and therapy these providers claim to be experts in at a premium cost. I have no problem paying a premium for a service that lives up to its name... this place however does not & is very deceiving & disappointing

If we had started here, we wouldnt have ended up here! This is, by far, the most effective treatment program I have seen for individuals and families (and I have seen a lot). There is not just ONE professional to help manage treatment, there is a TEAM. Where an individual therapist might not be available for an emergency call, the DBT Center team IS.As far as rates go, the rates per hour are competitive (if not more affordable) than other places. The difference is the intensity/frequency. So, you may pay more per month but you will attend more and get a LOT out of the program. Yes, you will work. Yes, you WILL have homework. And, yes, it will be worth it. Dollar for Dollar, this is the best value because of how effective the program is.

Dr. Milton Brown, the clinic owner is dedicated to research and providing compassionate, exceptional evidence-based treatment to clients and families. Hi attention to detail and high level of communication about clinic policies makes this clinic run smoothly so that clients can focus on what they need to.....their recovery. The proof is in the pudding. If you have had treatment in the past and have not gotten better, dont give up. Try DBT Center of San Diego. Disregard obvious spam reviews. They are bogus.

Ive had the pleasure to work with Dr. Milton Brown, the Clinic Director, in a number of collaborations and have referred patients to his Center because I know they are well-trained and doing excellent DBT. Their integrity and compassion for clients, as well as the community of DBT providers, is notable. I will continue to refer to DBTCSD for DBT services.

These people are crooks, and extremely unprofessional. They run this place like a business. Their primary concern is making money off you, and believe it or not, theyll work with the insurance to not get you coverage. Then theyll tell you they did their best, when they made the insurance case for not supporting you even stronger than it was before. They reject people if they see you wont be able to pay the so dont come here if youre trying to work on your own well-being.In the end I gave them $800 for 2 one hour sessions where they just spoke about seeing things from other peoples viewpoints... I payed that much to get that much effort out of them.. Dr. Milton Brown the program director is also extremely unprofessional, and gets passive aggressive at the slightest comment.

These caring therapists saved my life. When I came to DBT Center of San Diego, I was desperate and in more intense pain and suffering than one can imagine possible, including frequent suicide ideation. I lived an unbearable hell every day, but now my symptoms are 100x better than when I started DBT. Their expertise in treating emotion dysregulation is obvious. They are the only center with official DBT certification (which is WAY beyond the basic standard of being licensed by the CA Board of Psychology!). The director received a decade of training and mentorship from Dr. Masha Linehan, the creator of DBT therapy, and that was clear in the compassion and commitment to high quality care that I got from my therapist, Amanda Gutierrez. Although this therapy is not cheap by any means, their fees are actually more affordable than most other DBT clinics. The best money I ever spent! If you face extreme suffering, I encourage you to give them a try. You will be glad you did!

“The help” wasn’t helpful! What could be more devastating or disappointing than that as an individual already suffering from mental illness trying to seek help?! My hope is this review will save others from the same heart-break, pain & suffering that I experienced here… I was hopeless & desperate when I came to DBT Center of San Diego seeking their help & expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I left in more intense pain & suffering than one can imagine possible. I am living an unbearable hell every day as my symptoms are 100x worse than when I started here. In fact, now I am experiencing new frequent symptoms of suicide ideation. Symptoms that were atypical in general when I started at DBT Center of San Diego. Maybe the real problem with this provider is they aren’t actually experts at all…. if they were they would have known how to effectively treat a patient with emotion dysregulation symptoms. I was shocked to learn these providers aren’t even American Board-certified (which is NOT the same thing as being licensed by the state’s Board of Psychology!) something you would think a psychologist specializing in such a niche therapy & who claims to have received a decade of training & mentorship from Dr. Masha Linehan, the creator & founder of DBT therapy, WOULD HAVE! Dr. Marsha Linehan is American Board-certified (ABPP) however Dr. Milton Brown is not and neither is Dr Amanda Gutierrez nor is the rest of the team. I paid over $400+ a week for intensive individual & group therapy to receive ineffective therapy in return. I’ve never met a more unprofessional provider! Do yourself a favor and look up the difference between a psychologist who is American board-certified & one who is not, you will be glad you did!
