Treatment
Dr. LoTempio is a specialist in providing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She offers “gold standard” DBT - which you may also hear described as “full” DBT or comprehensive DBT. This model is more intensive than typical outpatient treatment, but less intensive or restrictive compared to Intensive Outpatient Programs, Partial Hospitalization Programs, residential, and inpatient levels of care. If you’re interested in exploring whether DBT is the right fit for you or your adolescent, please reach out to me here.
Some individuals are referred to DBT and come to the initial appointment interested in doing comprehensive DBT. However, some folks know they need help, but aren’t sure what is needed - that’s ok too!
Some individuals can benefit from a tailored treatment approach, rather than requiring the full comprehensive program. This is absolutely an option when indicated!
