Getting Started

What is my first step?

Call 770.452.0786 to speak with Leah Emerson.

What do I do next?

1. SCHEDULE a time to preview a class at no charge.

2. TAKE the "Is DBT and RO-DBT for me" quizzes here

3. FILL out the new patient paperwork: https://www.atlantadbt.com/paperwork

4. READ through the bios and see if there's a clinician you would like to work with. If they are taking new patients, we will do our best to accommodate your first choice.

Insurance:

Atlanta DBT does not take insurance. We are a fee for service practice.

BUT............

Our outcomes are so great that insurance companies typically make a 'SINGLE CASE AGREEMENT" where they agree to treat us as an in-network provider for you.
