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.
Our commitment to excellence
in outcomes
At Glow DBT, we’re committed to creating and maintaining the optimal conditions for our clients to get the best possible outcomes during their DBT journeys. We have a number of processes involved in striving for excellent DBT outcomes, including:​​
-
Individualised, DBT-informed assessments for every client referred to us
-
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
-
​Continually seeking feedback about our clinicians and our program
-
​​Rating the adherence of every DBT skills group session we deliver, to Dr Marsha Linehan’s curriculum
-
​​Regularly assessing the adherence of our program, to the DBT-LBC fidelity standards.
Our team
Our DBT team includes clinicians involved in both client care and program delivery. While all listed clinicians are part of our consulting team, some contribute through supervision or program coordination rather than direct client work.
