METRO NY DBT CENTER

What METRO NY DBT CENTER does

Metro NY DBT Center is a private professional corporation (Metro New York DBT Center, PC) operating as a specialty mental health treatment practice founded in 2014 and headquartered in the New York metropolitan area. The center delivers evidence-based psychotherapy — primarily Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and related modalities including CBT, CFT, RO-DBT, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, ERP, and DBT-SUD — across adherent DBT components (individual therapy, skills groups, phone coaching, consultation team). It serves children and adolescents (ages 8+), adults, and parents/caregivers across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut through three physical offices (Manhattan, Florham Park, Cranford) and telehealth services extending to 32 additional U.S. states via PsyPact licensing. The clinical team comprises approximately 15 licensed clinicians with specialized coordinator roles covering trauma, substance use, adolescent services, IOP, and psychological assessment, led by Clinical Director Dr. Carrie Diamond, PsyD, and Assistant Clinical Director Lucy Howell.

The center's underlying "technology" is the standardized DBT treatment protocol as taught by Behavioral Tech, LLC and Columbia University's DBT Intensive Training Program; no proprietary software platform, app, or API exists in the disclosed materials. Service delivery is structured across three tiers — intensive outpatient programs (nine hours of weekly group therapy plus individual sessions), standard outpatient treatment, and adjunct services (phone coaching, graduate groups, psychological assessments, parent coaching). Revenue is generated on a professional services, out-of-network basis: clients pay at time of service and receive superbills for insurance reimbursement, with no disclosed enterprise contracts, payer agreements, or funding rounds.

Emerging players

• Equip Health: Virtual eating-disorder and family-based treatment provider overlapping with Metro NY DBT's adolescent and family treatment focus. Represents a tech-enabled, family-systems-based competitor pursuing in-network payer contracts.
• Brightside Health: Telehealth mental health platform offering therapy and psychiatry with measurement-based care. Comparable as an evidence-based outpatient competitor leveraging digital infrastructure, though broader in modality than Metro NY DBT.
• Two Chairs: Hybrid in-person and virtual outpatient therapy provider with multiple clinics in major U.S. metros and a tech-enabled matching model. Comparable as a higher-end outpatient therapy operator competing for similar evidence-based therapy clients, though less DBT-specialized.
• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adolescents and young adults that overlaps with Metro NY DBT's intensive adolescent offerings, especially the 9-hour weekly group model. Represents the well-funded digital-native competitor the practice will increasingly face for teen and family clients.

Broad incumbents

• McLean Hospital: Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital and outpatient network that delivers DBT and evidence-based therapies as part of a much broader behavioral health portfolio. Comparable as a high-credibility incumbent in the same therapeutic space but not specialty-focused.
• Silver Hill Hospital: Residential and transitional psychiatric hospital in Connecticut where multiple Metro NY DBT clinicians completed DBT internships. Comparable as an evidence-based treatment provider with overlapping referral ecosystem, though inpatient-focused rather than outpatient-specialist.
• NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Behavioral Health: Major New York academic medical center offering comprehensive outpatient and inpatient behavioral health services, including DBT programs. Comparable as a high-volume, brand-credentialed incumbent competing for the same NY metro client base.

Direct peers

• Portland DBT Institute: Specialized DBT outpatient center in Oregon that similarly delivers adherent comprehensive DBT (individual therapy, skills groups, phone coaching, consultation team). Direct comparable in clinical model, intensity of training, and evidence-based positioning.
• Evidence Based Treatment Centers (formerly Seattle DBT): Regional DBT-specialized outpatient practice offering adherent comprehensive DBT and related evidence-based modalities. Directly comparable in clinical model, modality breadth, and Behavioral Tech-trained clinician base.

Others

• Behavioral Tech, LLC: The training organization founded by Marsha Linehan that certifies DBT clinicians, including those at Metro NY DBT. Functions as an enabling ecosystem participant and upstream supplier of trained clinician talent rather than a treatment competitor.
