Testimonials

  • DBT Center of Long Beach was a shining light while my world was crumbling. My teenage son was experiencing a mental health emergency, and I had no idea how to navigate this world. Tiana was so comforting during intake, making me feel like it was the perfect place to care for my baby. Tiana and her staff are so welcoming and warm. My son is thriving after being with his therapist, Nicole. She communicates with me frequently but still holds his privacy as a priority. If I ever have a concern or question, she is immediately available. DBT Center of Long Beach has not only given my son the tools he needs to navigate his emotional and mental health, but they have also helped ease my anxiety. I can't thank them enough for caring for my baby.

  • I provided RO DBT consultation to this team of dedicated and enthusiastic clinicians. They are passionate and committed to helping their clients and their mental health community. I would refer anyone to this team who is serious about participating in RO DBT or standard DBT treatment.

    Kristen Fritsinger

  • Tiana and her team are the best in the DBT therapy space. She’s nationally recognized as a subject matter expert in this field and it shows in the way she operates the business and treats her clients. The team at DBT Long Beach work well together and the individual therapy that’s provided is best in class. The office and location are also convenient and welcoming. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding therapy and a support group of people.
