Empower Lives, Grow Your Career: Be Part of a Team That Makes a Difference
At DBT Center Chicago, we’re committed to offering more than just a job — we’re building a clinical home for passionate, growth-oriented therapists.
We’re a DBT-LBC certified, private-pay group practice offering a high level of training, flexibility, and support. We invest deeply in our clinicians because we know that excellent client care starts with a well-supported team.
If you're looking for a space where you won’t feel like a cog in a machine — where your voice matters, your creativity is welcomed, and your growth is supported — you're in the right place.
Here’s what makes us different:
✨You’ll be trained and supported in delivering adherent DBT, with ongoing opportunities for advanced learning, including DBT-PE, DBT-SUD, and group leadership.
💛 You’ll join a team that truly cares — about clients, about each other, and about doing meaningful, values-aligned work with clinical excellence.
🧠 You’ll have both flexibility and structure — including a hybrid schedule, full admin support (we handle intake and billing), and a beautiful shared office space in Andersonville.
🌱 You’ll be part of a mission-driven practice where your feedback is welcomed, your clinical development is prioritized, and your work makes a real impact.
Whether you're just launching your DBT career or looking to deepen your expertise, we’re here to support your next chapter.
We provide true comprehensive DBT, not just the buzzwords. You’ll be part of a team that does the model right—full programs, high standards, and clients who are ready for the work. No trying to force DBT into a system that doesn’t support it.
We don’t just check the box on training—we invest heavily in your development. From foundational DBT and DBT-SUD to DBT-PE, group leadership, and eventually supervision or specialization, you’ll be supported to grow in a way that’s intentional and aligned with your strengths. And we cover the cost because we believe in our people.
We show up for each other—whether that’s troubleshooting a case, sharing resources, or bringing coffee to consult. Our vibe is collaborative, not competitive. You’ll have the flexibility you need and the connection you want, without being micromanaged or left to fend for yourself.
