About us | GlowDBT

The GlowDBT team is dedicated to excellence in delivering Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

GlowDBT is part of The Glow Centre, a private psychology practice in Kenmore, in Brisbane’s western suburbs.

We have a wonderful team of DBT clinicians who are passionate about DBT and seeing their clients put these skills into practice to make positive changes in their lives.

Our DBT program strictly follows the protocols and curriculum designed by Dr Marsha Linehan, and we have embedded measures of adherence and assessing progress so as to ensure we are delivering adherent, effective services.

Director and Principal Clinical Psychologist, Melissa Kent, has been practising DBT since 2003 and was the first clinician in Australia to be trained in DBT PE at Behavioral Tech/The Linehan Institute. Over the years, Melissa has delivered DBT training to professionals around Australia. All DBT clinicians at The Glow Centre have undertaken DBT training with Melissa.

Melissa oversees a handpicked team of experienced DBT clinicians who are motivated to help you learn practical skills to manage emotions, relationships and distress.

Individualised DBT treatment planning for every client

Providing pre-commitment prior to joining our DBT program, to give each client the best possible start

Assessing our clients’ progress regularly (at the end of each module or more frequently as required), and discussing this progress with them, and adapting their DBT treatment plan if indicated
