Why therapists choose STLDBT

Most therapists don’t struggle because they lack skill.
They struggle because they’re trying to do difficult work in isolation.

We’ve created a model that combines community with autonomy and structure with flexibility so you can focus on doing meaningful clinical work—while still building a career that works for you.

Here’s what that looks like:

• Consistent referrals to help you build and maintain your caseload

• Strong income potential, with a clear path to full-time earnings

• Weekly DBT consultation team so you’re never alone with complex cases

• Ongoing training and mentorship to grow your clinical confidence

• A collaborative community of clinicians who take their work seriously

• Flexibility and autonomy in how you structure your schedule and practice

• Fully furnished office space and administrative support

This is a place where you can do excellent work and build something sustainable.

What you can expect

Our clinicians are able to:

• Build a stable caseload over time

• Define what a full caseload is for themselves

• Develop real expertise in DBT and other evidence-based treatments

• Earn a competitive income aligned with their goals and availability

• Feel supported, not isolated, in their clinical work

• Grow within a long-term, sustainable private practice

Who this is a good fit for

You’ll likely thrive here if you:

• Value structure AND flexibility, consultation, and high-quality care

• Are interested in DBT or evidence-based approaches

• Appreciate both independence and collaboration

• Are motivated to grow your caseload and clinical skills

This may not be the right fit if you:

• Prefer to work entirely independently without consultation

• Are not interested in DBT or structured treatment approaches

• Are looking for a high-volume, minimal-engagement setting

• Don’t want to actively participate in a clinical team

We aim to be a strong fit—not just an available option.

Licensed Therapists (Full-Time or Part-Time)

• Build and maintain a caseload with steady referrals

• Participate in weekly consultation team

• Flexibility in scheduling and caseload size

Our approach to therapy

DBT is at the core of what we do, and we excel at providing other evidence-based modalities (EMDR, MBCT, CBT, CPT, etc.) when appropriate.

We provide structured, adherent DBT services and support our clinicians in developing real competence—not just familiarity—with the model.

You’ll be part of a team that values:

• Clinical integrity

• Ongoing learning

• Thoughtful, collaborative care

What our clinicians say

What the process looks like

We keep things straightforward:

1. Complete an application

2. Introductory conversation – learn more about each other

3. Meet the team / tour the space

4. Determine fit and next steps

This is a collaborative process—we want to make sure it’s the right fit for you as much as for us.
