In this episode of Wise Mind: A DBT Podcast, we're answering one of the biggest questions people have before starting DBT: What actually happens in the pre-group assessment?
We take you behind the scenes of the DBT pre-group assessment, exploring what to expect, the questions we ask (and why we ask them), and why this process is so much more than just an intake appointment. We discuss how the assessment helps determine whether DBT is the right fit for you, sets you up for success in the program, and ensures you have the support you need before beginning group.
Whether you're considering joining a DBT skills group, have an assessment coming up, or you're simply curious about how the process works, this episode will answer your questions and help take some of the mystery out of getting started.

Acknowledgment of Dr. Marsha M. Linehan and the Origins of DBT
We honor Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, psychologist and professor who created Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
It’s thanks to Dr. Linehan that DBT has become a proven intervention for a range of mental health challenges.
