Training & Consultation for Clinicians
DBT-Linehan Board Certified clinicians training the people who help your clients. Continuing education, ongoing consultation, and forensic expertise across our specialty areas — for schools, clinics, and providers working with high-risk populations.
Who We Train
FRTC's clinical team trains professionals across the continuum of mental-health care — anyone whose caseload includes clients with emotion dysregulation, suicidality, trauma, or personality-disorder presentations. We adapt each training to the audience's level, whether that's an entire clinic learning DBT fundamentals or a senior team working through complex cases.
Specialty Areas
Our clinical focus is narrow on purpose. We train in what we practice daily — not a rotating menu of whatever's trending. Each area below can be delivered as a short seminar, a multi-day training, or ongoing consultation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Full-model comprehensive DBT for adults — individual therapy, skills group, phone coaching, consultation team. Training on adherent implementation, not 'DBT-informed' care.
DBT for Adolescents (DBT-A)
Adolescent-specific adaptation — multi-family skills groups, Walking the Middle Path module, and parent integration. Evidence-based for teen suicidality, self-harm, and emotion dysregulation.
DBT for Children (DBT-C)
Parent-delivered DBT for children ages 4–12 (Perepletchikova et al. model). Training for school counselors and child therapists working with severe emotion and behavioral dysregulation.
Suicide Risk Assessment
Evidence-based suicide risk assessment, safety planning, and managing chronic suicidality in outpatient settings. Skills that generalize across modalities.
High-Conflict Couples Therapy
Working with couples who present with emotion dysregulation, trauma, BPD, or stuck cycles of conflict — integrating DBT skills into couples work when standard EFT or Gottman aren't landing.
Prolonged Exposure (PE) for Trauma
PE protocol for PTSD — the APA-recommended first-line trauma treatment. Training on adherent implementation, PE-DBT integration, and avoiding common clinician pitfalls.
How We Deliver
We meet organizations where they are. For most groups, that means one of the four formats below — but we're flexible and can build something specific to your needs.
Scheduled Trainings
Multi-hour or multi-day workshops on any of our specialty areas. In-person at your site or virtual. We'll collaborate on the outline to match your team's experience level.
One-Off Talks & Seminars
Single presentations for clinical staff meetings, school in-services, community grand rounds, or conference sessions. Typically 60–120 minutes.
Ongoing Consultation
Case consultation for clinicians, supervisors, or teams implementing DBT, PE, or DBT-C. Weekly, bi-weekly, or as-needed. Individual or group format.
Legal & Forensic Consultation
Expert consultation, forensic evaluations, and expert testimony in cases involving BPD, suicidality, trauma, custody, or standard-of-care questions. See our clinicians for credentials and rates.
Who Delivers Training
Trainings are led by FRTC's senior clinicians — the same clinicians who see our client caseload. No outsourced trainers, no generic slide decks. The work you hear about in a training is the work we're doing this week.

Training FAQ
Is FRTC an APA-approved CE sponsor?
Yes. Front Range Treatment Center is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education. We maintain responsibility for our program and its content. Certificates are issued for live and asynchronous offerings as applicable.
Can LCSWs, LPCs, and MFTs in Colorado use APA CE toward renewal?
Yes. Colorado DORA's licensing boards for Social Work, Professional Counselors, and Marriage & Family Therapists don't pre-approve individual courses — they accept professional-development hours from nationally- or regionally-recognized professional organizations, which explicitly includes the American Psychological Association. Your 40-hour biennial CE requirement can include APA-sponsored CE. That said, each licensee is ultimately responsible for confirming the specific activity meets their board's requirements — please verify with your board if you're uncertain about a particular offering.
Do you travel for in-person trainings?
Yes — within Colorado and the Front Range corridor at our standard rate, and elsewhere with travel expenses built into the contract. Virtual trainings have no geographic limit.
What does a training typically cost?
Pricing varies by format, length, customization, and whether you need CE certificates issued. For a 2–4 hour seminar we typically quote a fixed fee; for multi-day trainings or ongoing consultation we'll scope a proposal. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Can you provide supervision for clinicians seeking DBT-LBC certification?
Our clinicians provide DBT supervision and consultation, including for clinicians on the path to DBT-Linehan Board Certification. Requirements are rigorous — we'll talk through the pathway honestly on an initial call and determine whether our supervision fits what the Board requires.
Do you offer forensic evaluations and expert testimony?
Yes. Our clinicians are available for forensic consultation, evaluations, and expert testimony in cases involving BPD, suicidality, trauma, custody, or standard-of-care questions. Rates and availability vary by clinician — contact us to discuss the specifics of your case.
