Tracy Jendritza, Psy.D., DBT-LBC
I have been providing DBT since 2000. I was first introduced to DBT in graduate school and was instantly sure DBT would be a significant part of my life. I worked at the Portland DBT Program for 10 years where I first managed the eating disorder program and then moved into the role of assistant program director. During this time I achieved the highest level of training, supervised clinicians, and managed the program. Since 2010 I have been providing full fidelity DBT and DBT informed treatment in private practice and small group practice settings. In 2018 I achieved the DBT certification by the DBT Linehan Board of Certification.
I very much appreciate the skills and strategies offered by DBT and find that they fit my personality and are comfortable and rewarding to provide. It is satisfying and rewarding to offer a treatment that results in such significant improvements. I am grateful to be on the journey with my clients as they heal and develop a life worth living.
Darcy Norling, Psy.D., DBT-LBC
I first learned about DBT while in graduate school. I remember sitting in that class and immediately feeling I had found my calling. I threw myself fully into studying this treatment and learning the model to the highest level of training possible.
I have conducted DBT since 2003. I first trained at the Portland DBT Institute for approximately five years, where I managed the adolescent clinic. I moved into private practice in 2010 and have practiced in a small group setting since this time. I believe strongly in adhering to the researched model of DBT and do all that I can to provide the highest level of care. In 2018 I achieved the DBT certification by the DBT Linehan Board of Certification.
I believe DBT offers a new way of viewing the world and of relating to people. DBT is so much more than a psychological treatment. It is a way of life. I am honored to be able to help individuals learn this new path and to reduce their suffering along the way.
