Is DBT Therapy Covered by Insurance?

The simple answer is yes! But let me provide some context. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based practice renowned for its effectiveness in addressing a range of mental health issues. It's a sought-after treatment modality due to its proven results and practicality. To delve deeper into DBT and how we incorporate it at PRGRS Therapy, click the button below.

Insurance Coverage for DBT Therapy

You might wonder if your insurance covers DBT therapy. In many cases, the answer is yes. Typically, insurers cover standard therapy regimens such as once-weekly therapy sessions. If your therapist is trained in DBT, as we are at PRGRS, they will likely integrate DBT techniques into your sessions. Importantly, this doesn't affect whether the session is covered, as DBT is an evidence-based modality. Insurance providers indeed encourage the use of evidence-based practices.

The DBT Therapist Conundrum

One challenge to consider is that many professionals trained in DBT do not accept insurance, a prevalent situation in New York City. While there are a decent number of DBT therapists in NYC, a significant portion do not work with insurance.

Why PRGRS Therapy Stands Out

This is where PRGRS Therapy stands out. We believe in making DBT therapy accessible to the people of New York City. That's why we accept many major insurers. For those plans with which we are not in-network, we've partnered with a third-party platform to assist clients in using their out-of-network benefits, ensuring they can be reimbursed for their sessions.
