Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Adolescents in the Twin Cities

Some things are too big, too heavy, too hard and too much for all of us, including our kids and teens. There’s nothing simple or automatic about growing up and understanding one’s self—most of us work at it our entire lives. At MHS, we tailor DBT to fit young people and your young person. It’s not DBT-lite, it’s DBT-appropriate.

We’ve seen a great need for a program for addiction recovery and mental health among young people, and starting fall 2024 are excited to offer Waypoint for Teens. Waypoint is a consistently successful DBT program for adult addiction recovery and mental health wellbeing, now evolved and adapted to better relate to a teenage mindset, attitude and situation.
