Bring DBT Skills to Life Through Music!
A one of a kind membership for DBT clinicians who want fresh, creative ways to make skills stick ...without needing musical training.
DBT clinician, does this sound familiar?
Your clients aren’t fully engaging in group. The skills aren’t landing. You’re doing your best, but something’s missing.
Sometimes, what’s missing is a spark, a new way to present the skills so they feel relevant, memorable, and practical.
That’s where we come in.
The DBT Skills Mastery Through Music Membership for Clinicians gives you a library of music-based activities specifically tailored for each DBT skill, to:
- Boost attention and motivation
- Support learning and retention
- Reach diverse learning styles
- Add variety to groups, especially for clients in their 2nd or 3rd cycle
- Make virtual groups more interactive and effective
🎵 You don’t need to sing or play an instrument, just press play, follow the guides, and watch the shift.
Join the membership and get ready to transform your DBT sessions. Fresh tools. Engaged clients. Real skill mastery.

What Members are Saying
"I just want to take a minute and give a shout-out to Deborah and the team! Everyone involved has put so much time and effort into making this a meaningful experience and it shows! I always enjoy the resources. This gives me an alternative way to help my clients learn and remember the skills. They've made it interesting and interactive. I truly see the value. As a clinician who is not comfortable using music. I love that I can show the videos directly to my clients. "
- Hillary C.
"Thank you for this wonderful resource! I use it constantly for new creative ideas to engage my clients, and so did my intern. "
- Nola K.
"I want to share what happened today. I have a client who has ADHD and has difficulty retaining information. Once he learned the skills through song, he was able to tell the group word for word what the letters in DEARMAN stand for and how to use it. (He said he then had the DEARMAN song stuck in his head for hours.) This is huge! Thank you so much for helping clients like him remember the skills."
-Deborah S.

Will it add value to my existing skills training?
This membership is specifically tailored to help DBT clinicians enhance their skills training sessions and better serve their clients.

There are recordings for YOU, the leader, with handouts and instructions. We've also included client versions of the activities so you can just play those directly for your group or client.
Is it worth it?
Investing in your professional development is an investment in your future. With DBT Skills Mastery through Music, you will be equipped with new tools and techniques to help your clients achieve lasting change. And this is well worth the investment!
How much time does it take?
We know that you are busy, and that's why we have designed the Resource Library to be easy to use and implement into your practice. The materials are concise, well-organized, and can be accessed anytime, anywhere
How do I know its effective to use music to teach DBT skills?
Rest assured that the DBT Skills Mastery through Music Membership has been developed based on evidence-based practices and has been used successfully by clinicians. We are confident that the content will help you broaden your therapeutic approach, and deliver positive outcomes for your clients.
In a recent study completed at Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital, a music therapist and a psychologist compared traditional DBT skills groups with skills training that included music therapy provided by a Board Certified DBT Informed Music Therapist. The results on client outcomes were significantly favorable for adding music therapy. The results were released in the Journal of Music Therapy in June of 2022.
Although this membership does not make one a music therapist, any more than reading a book on DBT would make someone a DBT therapist, we trust that anyone can use music in their DBT sessions with good effect.
Can my clients access these on their own?
Yes! We have another version - DBT Skills Mastery through Music for Clients and People Learning DBT, that has everything directed at them, including homework assignments.
This is a great way for clients to review skills on their own, or even to get started learning skills while they wait to get into a too full skills training group.
The client version is setup to drip out one skill per week for 2 weeks in a row, followed by an implementation week, with a total of 52 weeks of content! Participants will have a growing library of creative activities to strengthen those skills that they can refer back to. They also get a monthly Zoom group meeting with a qualified DBT Informed Board Certified Music Therapist to get their questions answered and get some individualized support, and will belong to an online supportive private forum.
Who created this? Who are you?
We are a group of Board Certified Music Therapists who are here to help you get a more engaging experience for your clients.
We all have completed Behavioral Tech’s DBT Skills Training Program, as well as a comprehensive year long DBT informed Music Therapy Training program that includes clinical supervision from a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification Certified PsyD clinician.
We all have experience facilitating DBT informed music therapy groups, and are often found co-leading skills training groups with psychologists, social workers, and other DBT skills group leaders.
Our creative team met together every week for over a year to create original material for DBT clinicians and group leaders to use to supplement the skills training experience. We also made a version for clients, people learning DBT.
