Specialized DBT and trauma treatment

The leading Minnesota DBT and trauma clinic for the past 20 years, our outpatient dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma program groups are designed to give you skills to help you better manage emotions, navigate stress, improve relationships, and feel more in control of daily life.

We use evidence-based practices working with adolescents and adults experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, impulsivity, and substance use.

We help you make real life changes

Treatment focuses on evidence-based, practical skills you can apply to your everyday life because real progress happens in those little moments.

As an independently-owned mental health organization that’s been around for more than 20 years, we offer in-person group therapy at five convenient Twin Cities locations, along with virtual programming options that make specialized treatment more accessible and flexible.

What is DBT?

DBT is an evidence-based treatment that helps you better manage emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and navigate life’s challenges. Rather than simply talking about problems, DBT teaches practical skills you can use in everyday situations, helping you create meaningful, lasting change.

Our programs

Our programs help individuals develop practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and responding more effectively to life’s challenges.

Care built around your needs

Your treatment plan should fit you, not the other way around.

Our clinicians help determine the program, level of support, and treatment approach that best matches your needs and goals. The length of programming varies based on your progress and situation, rather than a fixed timeline.

In most cases, you can also continue working with your current individual therapist while participating in programming at MHS.

Our programs combine:

Skills training in a group setting

Structured and evidence-based, focused on building practical tools for daily life.

Symptom identification and tracking

Regular tracking of your symptoms to monitor progress.

Care coordination

Whether you have an individual therapist at MHS or externally, we provide consistent communication across your care team so nothing gets lost between providers.

Insurance and accessibility

We believe specialized mental health care should be accessible when you need it most.

We accept most major insurance plans, including many state insurance programs. Our team verifies your coverage before scheduling an intake, so you have a clear understanding of your benefits from the start.

A small sampling of the insurance we accept includes:

It starts with a conversation, not a commitment

Reaching out for help can feel difficult, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before taking the first step.

Our intake team is here to answer your questions, learn more about what you’re experiencing, and help determine whether one of our programs may be a good fit. The referral and assessment process is designed to be supportive, clear, and efficient.

Sometimes healing starts with a simple conversation. Fill out the form below, or call us at 952-592-4989.
