Science-Backed Treatment,
Genuine Human Connection
Seattle Training in Adult, Adolescent, & Relationship DBT (STAAR DBT) is a collective of independent clinicians, fellows, and practicum students delivering effective treatment, in a warm and radically genuine community.
High Quality training
Dr. Erin Miga and Dr. Jared Michonski are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) experts and have been supervising and training in DBT for a collective 28 years. We both trained under Marsha Linehan, DBT Treatment Developer, as well as many other top flyers in the field.
At STAAR DBT, we deliver excellent behavioral treatments for teens and adults. Our niche is applying DBT in the family context—whether it is helping high volatility couples communicate more calmly and with greater clarity, or teaching parents how to be more systematic and effective with their teens.
We offer behaviorally precise and high-quality supervision, delivered with compassion, flexibility, humor, and kindness. We cultivate a supportive environment to our trainees, during which we recognize our fellow’s strengths, shape necessary skills, and help fellows cultivate community and connectedness with their clients, and within the training program.
