About Awake DBT
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Awake DBT's Linehan Board Certified program helps teens, adults, and families manage anxiety, depression, other mental health challenges through structured dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). They offer 1-on-1, group, and family therapy with skilled and compassionate clinicians in a relaxed atmosphere.
Gain and Develop Core Skills Through Structured Care
Awake DBT blends warmth with evidence-based structure. During treatment, clients receive weekly individual therapy, a two-hour DBT skills group, and 24-hour coaching for real-time support. This approach builds emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and relationship skills, helping participants reduce reactivity, gain control over their emotions, and foster lasting personal growth. The center asks for a 6 month minimum commitment to allow staff to teach all the necessary DBT skills.
Using Insurance to Cover Treatment
The Awake DBT program is out-of-network with insurances. Most individuals with PPO plans will have 50-70% of coverage, and clients can directly call their insurance company to determine exact coverage. The procedure code for individual therapy is 90834 and the procedure code for the skills group is 90853. Their license level is MFT and zip code for insurance purposes is 95125. Awake DBT will typically ask for weekly payment and can provide a superbill at the end of each month.
