              Press Contact:      Andrew White, PhD, (503) 290-3281, awhite@pdbti.org 
               
              Portland, Oregon based dialectical behavior therapy suicide treatment program 
              awarded highest level of treatment certification by international board 
               
              Portland, Oregon – The Portland DBT Institute (PDBTI) is one of the oldest and largest 
              independent providers in the world of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence 
              based therapy for individuals experiencing suicidal urges and behavior. We are proud to 
              serve approximately one thousand adults, adolescents, and families per year in the Pacific 
              Northwest area, and were recently certified and recognized for our ability to deliver DBT in 
              a manner consistent with the original treatment model and with a high degree of 
              effectiveness by the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification (dbt-lbc.org), an international 
              organization devoted to ensuring programs and individuals offering DBT meet rigorous 
              standards and can demonstrate competency regarding the treatment. In undergoing the 
              certification process, The Portland DBT Institute joins a list of only seven certified 
              programs in the world. 
               
              DBT was originally developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD, ABPP, at the University of 
              Washington and is held as the gold standard with comprehensive research literature 
              (including randomized control trials) on the effectiveness of the treatment of chronically 
              suicidal individuals and for Borderline Personality Disorder. The general goal of treatment 
              is to help the individual create a life worth living, with treatment following a set of core 
              skills and principles delivered in a comprehensive, systematic manner. Individuals 
              engaging in DBT have often suffered greatly, may not have found treatment to be effective 
              in the past, and may be at high risk for suicide, creating high stakes for mental health 
              service delivery and the need for consumers to be able to differentiate between programs 
              who offer full fidelity DBT and programs not able to deliver the treatment with its full 
              strength.  
               
              The Portland DBT Institute is proud to offer adherent DBT, with serving over one thousand 
              adults, adolescents, young adults, and families per year, with provide specialty 
              programming for individuals with co-occurring eating disorders, substance abuse 
              disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We provide training and consultation 
              regarding DBT and the treatment of suicide on a local, national, and international level, and 
              are proud to have staff who are individually certified in the delivery of DBT by the 
              certification board as well as to have Linda Dimeff, PhD, as clinic director. Linda is an 
              expert clinician and leading researcher in the area of DBT, substance abuse treatment, and 
              the delivery of evidence based therapies to alleviate suffering.  Our staff are active in 
       regional and national mental health advocacy, contribute to the research base on DBT 
       through publications and presentations, and collaborate internationally on policy 
       initiatives related to DBT.  
        
       The completion of the certification process and third-party recognition around our delivery 
       of DBT is an honor and reflects our core values as a clinic, which is to provide research 
       supported treatment in the service of reducing suffering and enhancing the quality of life 
       for clients and their loved ones. We strive to work collaboratively with clients, our team 
       and the therapeutic community at large, in a manner that promotes both personal and 
       professional growth.
