Our Philosophy

At MDPS, we are committed to providing evidence based treatment within an atmosphere of acceptance. Our purpose is to reduce suffering and enhance the quality of life for clients and their loved ones. We work collaboratively with clients, our team and the therapeutic community at large.

The DBT model of treatment is based on extensive research on what causes personal change.  Initially, the approach was proven effective in treating individuals with extreme emotional dysregulation (eg. quickness to intense emotion and difficulties returning to baseline.)  However, further research has demonstrated its effectiveness with a broader range of clinical problems.
At Mt. Diablo Psychological Services, we offer DBT treatment to the East Bay and Contra Costa regions, for those struggling with mood disorders, anxiety and trauma, addictions and borderline personality disorders.
