Our Mission
Front Range Treatment Center is a DBT treatment center located in the Denver Tech Center. Our specialty is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — a type of therapy that treats strong emotions and is the best treatment for borderline personality disorder, self-harm, and thoughts of suicide.
We are a comprehensive DBT program, meaning we offer DBT the way it was designed and the way it is validated by research. This includes all four modes: individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and a therapist consultation team.
We also offer many other therapies under the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy family for treating issues like depression, anxiety, and behaviors you want to change. Our individual therapists each bring their own specialties — from couples counseling and family therapy to trauma treatment and more.
What Sets Us Apart
The principles that guide everything we do.
Evidence-Based Care
We only use treatment methods shown by research to be effective. Our approaches include DBT, CBT, and Exposure Therapies — all on the APA's list of empirically supported treatments.
Comprehensive DBT
We deliver DBT the way it was designed — all four modes: individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation team.
A Collaborative Team
Our therapists work as a team — sharing expertise, learning from each other, and supporting each other to deliver the best possible care.
Client-Centered Focus
We don't accept insurance directly, so our clinicians can spend all their time doing what they love — helping clients build a life worth living.
