Self-harm and Suicidal Ideation

Here at Prism, we have the background and expertise to work with some of these more critical mental health symptoms. Dr. Laviola has extensive training and background in these areas and fully integrates the principles and techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into his practice. He has been involved with DBT from the beginning of his career and saw first-hand the revolution in treatment that Marsha Linehan, PhD was able to bring about with her creation of DBT. Sometimes patients might have already had a course of DBT in various forms and they have different experiences or feelings about it.  Dr. Laviola and his team are very comfortable with and have experienced success working with these patients whether they love it or hate it.
