Denver DBT and Psychotherapy is a group of licensed clinical psychologists and doctoral level clinicians dedicated to providing empirically validated treatment based on Dr. Marsha Linehan’s Dialectical Behavior Therapy model. We also provide a variety of both traditional and cutting edge treatments designed to meet each prospective client where they are in order to best serve them. Some of our services include outpatient DBT-based skills training groups, mindfulness therapy groups, adolescent DBT groups, as well as individual, couples and family therapy for both adolescents and adults. Denver DBT and Psychotherapy was established by Nikki Kraslin, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist who has been offering DBT-based skills training groups and supervising clinicians in DBT and insight-oriented psychotherapy since 2004. Our staff consists of doctoral level clinicians who work as a team to offer clients multi-systemic support.

Therapy helps us recognize the hue of our own distinct lens, creating the possibility for growth, change, and a more authentic and fulfilling life experience.
