Oakland DBT and Mindfulness Center: Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR, Somatic & Trauma Informed Psychotherapy

“I did 2 rounds of full DBT + the advance group from 2021-2022. I can honestly say they changed my life. The instructors were highly qualified and always willing to answer questions. They controlled the class in such a way that we stayed on task, on time, and kept it a safe environment with ground rules. I had several different instructors (Christine, Ari, Jay, Heather) and each of them brought their own unique experiences and perspectives into the class. I know it was expensive but I can’t put a price on how much they transformed my life.”

“The co owner of this business shouldn't be a therapist for trauma patients as she is not equipped for the responsibility. She is only driving an education business and not treating patients. When a patient with severe trauma not be at best communication, you don't punish them by dropping them like a ball, these are human beings who suffered pain and need empathy and compassion. The lady at the front is nice and has understanding!! But seek no help for trauma with the co-owner therapist. She has no capacity, compassion & empathy.”

“Very experienced therapists. They are offering Ketamine built on a solid foundation of DBT and other skills/evidence based therapies. Thorough, compassionate and thoughtful care.”

“Janafir, Heather, Joe, & all my peers in different groups have been lifesavers. I missed DBT so much when I was away. I’m thankful that they are offering advanced DBT groups. I’m just one of those people that needs to stay in a group set and continue to try to master this new lifestyle. DBT has saved my life. It has given me a whole new set of tools to manage my life and my emotions in a healthier way. My emotions don’t control me anymore. I have so much love for DBT & this center in particular.”
