Keren Clark, MFT: Understanding DBT

Montare Media presents Season 2, episode 10 of the Discover U Podcast:  Understanding DBT with Keren Clark

JD Kalmenson interviews Keren Clark, MFT to learn about the relatively new therapy called DBT. DBT has been shown to be effective with previously treatment resistant diagnoses like Borderline Personality Disorder and Suicidality. 

Keren Clark is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who has been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and in DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) which is a DBT based treatment for PTSD. Keren is also a certified practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In the course of her career, she has had the opportunity to train directly with Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR and with Marsha Linehan, the creator of DBT. 

Keren is currently part of the team at the DBT Center of Orange County where she has worked as a DBT therapist and Clinical Supervisor for the last seven years. She continues to train new DBT clinicians in DBT and to actively practice and grow in DBT herself.
