Certified MBT Practitioners

The following clinicians have been trained in what we call “adherent” mentalization-based treatment (MBT)—that is, MBT that is consistent with the most up-to-date research and science about effective practice. Depending on the specific practitioner, they provide a range of services, both virtually and in-person: individual therapy, group therapy, psychopharmacology, and diagnostic and treatment consultations.

Please note: MBT USA provides this directory as a public resource only and does not endorse, supervise, or assume responsibility for the clinical services of any listed practitioner. All practitioners are independent providers, and users are responsible for verifying credentials and determining appropriateness of care.
