DBT-Child

Created by Dr. Francheska Perepletchikova, Dr. Kalsner is one of the first clinicians in the country to be trained in the innovative DBT-Child program for children ages 7 to 12.  DBT-C is intended for children who exhibit ADHD, self-harm urges, and disruptive behavior problems. The DBT-Child program involves weekly individualized parent training in DBT skills followed by weekly individual skills sessions for the child. The program empowers parents to feel more effective in managing challenging behavior problems in their children while also strengthening the parent-child relationship.
