A Place For Parent

Welcome to The Be Center! We are a parent-focused center specializing in empowering parents navigating the complexities of their child, teen, or young adult’s mental health journey.

Our team of clinicians is deeply committed and rigorously trained in DBT, bringing extensive expertise from outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings.

DBT for Parents Program

The DBT for Parents Program is a comprehensive, 12-month DBT program for parents designed to provide parents with a well-rounded, robust, and evidence-based support. The program includes: 1) a Foundational Course, 2) weekly parent coaching sessions, and 3) a monthly skills group, offering both structured learning and ongoing, real-life support. The program is intentionally divided into two parts: the first focuses on helping parents regain calm, steadiness, and confidence in their own responses; the second shifts toward strengthening relationships, improving communication, and navigating ongoing challenges with greater clarity and connection.

The DBT for Parents Program offers a clear, supportive path toward lasting change, with additional services available to meet your family’s unique needs. If you’re ready to reduce stress at home, rebuild connection, and feel more confident in your parenting, we invite you to schedule a consultation to learn whether this program is the right fit for your family. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Part 1 - Calming the Storm

Parents begin their journey in Calming the Storm, a four-month phase focused on bringing more calm and predictability into the home. Parents learn practical tools to lower conflict, respond more effectively during emotional moments, and reduce patterns that keep everyone stuck. The goal is to help daily life feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Part 2 - Thrive

Thrive is an eight-month continuation that includes ongoing parent coaching and a monthly group. In this phase, parents focus on improving day-to-day interactions with their child, setting clear and supportive boundaries, and rebuilding trust and connection. Parents also work toward creating more balance in the home—supporting their child’s growth while protecting their own well-being.

DBT for Parents Skill Group

Our DBT for Parents Skill Group goes beyond traditional DBT skills groups and into a deeper dive of skills for parents, transforming the way you support your family. In this monthly, virtual 120-minute session, you'll gain practical DBT for parents skills and actionable steps. Each month, you'll explore new skills to manage emotions, communicate effectively, and strengthen relationships, all in a supportive, collaborative environment. Our group sessions are structured to not only introduce you to these practical skills but also provide you with hands-on experience in applying them to your daily family interactions. Our group is a 12-month commitment and is available as a stand-alone service to parents not participating in our full program.

Other Clinical Services

Parent Individual Therapy

Our individual parent therapy goes beyond addressing parenting challenges to prioritize your own emotional well-being. We understand that each parent carries unique histories and personal needs that significantly influence their growth. Our experienced clinical staff specializes in guiding parents through these challenges, helping them navigate issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and more, towards a path of personal wellness. By prioritizing your own growth and healing, you not only enhance your overall well-being but also enrich your parenting journey. Take the courageous step towards personal healing and improved family dynamics with us.

Family Therapy

Family Therapy is designed to empower families to rebuild relationships, navigate difficult conversations, and establish more effective patterns of communication. Our approach ensures parents have the opportunity to learn essential skills through parent coaching before integrating their child, adolescent, or young adult into sessions. This enables parents to apply these skills within the family dynamic and effectively manage challenging topics that may arise during therapy. We collaborate closely with your child’s provider to ensure a cohesive and supportive approach that enhances your child’s overall treatment. Let us accompany your family on this healing journey, providing skillful guidance and unwavering support to foster deeper connections and positive change.

Parent Couples Therapy

Each of us brings our unique history, emotions, and perspectives on parenting into our relationships. These differences, compounded by the challenges of caring for a child, teen, or young adult struggling with emotion dysregulation, can strain communication and create emotional distance. At The Be Center, we specialize in empowering parent couples to overcome conflict, cultivate effective communication strategies, and rediscover connection. Just as parents seek support in navigating their child’s challenges, couples deserve the opportunity to nurture and heal their relationship. Take the first step on your path towards a stronger partnership.
