Our services focus exclusively on supporting parents. We offer a variety of services to address the different levels of support needed by each family. Parents work with our clinicians to select the best services for their families.

DBT for Parents is an innovative comprehensive treatment approach aimed at supporting parents. In the program parents work with a clinician weekly to identify and understand the unique challenges that are leading to your family’s conflict or distress. During weekly sessions, parents will learn and apply a variety of skills that will help empower them to respond to challenges more effectively. DBT for Parents focuses on balancing three main goals:

1. Influencing their child/teen/young adult behavior.

2.Maintaining and build their relationship with their child.

3.Attending to parents sense of self, emotions, and needs.

Parents will also attend our monthly DBT for Parent group, where they focus on learning essential skills that can be applied directly in their home environment.

Having a child, adolescent or young adult struggling with mental health is a challenge that few parents are prepared to handle. Parents are often left out or under-supported during the treatment of their child/teen/young adult; this leaves parents confused, lost, and alone, not knowing what they can do or how they can respond.

To get started, register for the DBT for Parents Foundational Course or contact us for more information.

Traditional DBT skills groups for parents focus on teaching new skills that adolescents and young adults are learning in their own treatment, while other skill groups provide a bit more focus on how parents can use the skills themselves. Our Parent Coaching Skills Group takes a different approach: we simultaneously help parents learn and apply DBT skills geared entirely towards empowering parents to more effectively respond to and manage difficult transactions in their families. The group utilizes a combination of collaboration and skill acquisition among a supportive group of parents.

If you are interested in getting started, register for the next Parent Coaching Foundational posted on the website. Simply click which services you are interested in receiving. This will get you started on admission process for parent coaching. You will be contacted by our Administrative Assistant who will set up a 15-20 minute intake call to answer any questions you have and gather some information to assess if The Be Center services you are interested in are a good fit for your situation. If you know that you are interested in pursuing parent coaching or group, you are welcome to schedule a Parent Coaching Evaluation with one of our intensively trained or certified DBT clinicians. The evaluation can take place before you participate in the Parent Coaching Foundational or for the first session or two of your parent coaching with your assigned parent coach.

The Be Center does not contract with any insurance companies.

Some insurance plans (e.g., PPO plans) may offer reimbursement for out-of-network services. To determine what out-of-network coverage you have, you can contact your insurance company directly. If you are interested in submitting service claims to your insurance company for reimbursement, you must reside in a state in which the clinicians are licensed, we have clinicians licensed in most States. In order to be eligible for insurance reimbursement, you must undergo a clinical diagnostic evaluation, have a diagnostic code, and meet criteria with your insurance company.

We are able to get families started with our services right away. We occasionally have a waitlist for individual parent coaching sessions.

We require all parents to attend the Parent Coaching Foundational as part of the admission process for Parent coaching and Parent coaching skills group. This is the first step at getting support and accessing services. When you sign up for Parent Coaching or Group you will be asked to register for our Parent Coaching Foundational.

We have worked in the treatment of adolescents and young adults for many years, including family therapy. Our experience and the research suggests that when parents are learning skills and are empowered, not only is family therapy more effective but adolescents and young adults can get more gains in their own treatment! Starting with parent coaching allows parents to learn important skills needed to effectively tackle the often difficult and painful topics discussed in family sessions. We require all parents to be in parent coaching to be eligible for family therapy. We do not provide stand alone family therapy.

Yes. The Be Center’s services are conducted entirely over Telehealth.

Our two programs, DBT for Parents, and Thrive, each require monthly group while in the program. We require weekly parent coaching for both our programs during the first part of the treatment. Then you will work with your therapist on how often to meet based upon your treatment progress and goals.
