Complete DBT therapy for New York clients. Wherever you are.
New York has no shortage of therapists. It has far fewer practices offering a genuine, fully adherent DBT program: individual therapy, a skills training group, and phone coaching, running together as a complete system.
Turn the Mind is a specialized DBT practice based just outside New York City, in Glen Rock, NJ. We provide the full DBT program to clients across New York via secure telehealth, including New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan for people who feel emotions intensely, react quickly, and take longer to settle back down. DBT works by teaching concrete, trainable skills across four areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
The research shows that DBT works best as a complete program. Skills group teaches the concepts. Individual therapy applies them to your specific patterns. Phone coaching supports you in real moments of crisis, when the skills matter most. These components were designed to work together.
The four components, delivered virtually across NY.
Each of these is part of how DBT was designed to work. We provide all four, with the same fidelity online as in person.
Individual DBT therapy
Weekly sessions with a DBT-trained therapist, using diary cards and behavioral chain analysis to identify and change patterns.
DBT skills training group
A structured weekly group working through the four skill modules, with consistent new skills introduced each session.
Phone coaching
Between-session access to your therapist for real-time support when you are in the moment and need to use your skills.
Therapist consultation team
Our clinicians meet as a team to maintain quality and consistency of care across every client.

For New York clients who prefer in-person sessions, our Glen Rock, NJ office is accessible from Rockland County, the Lower Hudson Valley, and the northern NYC metro area.
A specialized DBT practice, not a general therapy practice that offers DBT.
We are a specialized DBT practice, not a general therapy practice that offers DBT as one option among many. Our clinicians are trained specifically in DBT. We run structured skills groups year-round. We maintain all four program components because that is what produces results.
We work with clients across New York through telehealth and have experience with the specific presentations DBT is designed to treat. We are direct, trained, and committed to the full model.
Virtual DBT for clients anywhere in NY. In-person sessions available in Glen Rock for clients in the NYC metro area.
We see virtual DBT clients across New York, from the five boroughs through Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, Rockland County, and beyond. We are also licensed in NJ, CT, and PSYPACT states, so NY clients can continue working with us when traveling or temporarily out of state.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. We make it simple.
