Low-Fee DBT Therapy – DBW’s Clinical Resident Program

At Downtown Behavioral Wellness (DBW), we believe quality mental health care should be accessible to everyone.

Our Clinical Resident Program offers the same evidence-based, compassionate therapy DBW is known for—at a lower cost.

Through this program, clients can work with clinical residents training directly under Dr. Maddy Ellberger, receiving personalized care and ongoing supervision that ensures the highest clinical standards.

Affordable Therapy Without Compromising Quality

Our low-fee therapy sessions are designed for clients who want to begin or continue therapy but find standard private-practice rates challenging.

Each resident therapist is a master’s or doctoral-level clinician in advanced training, supervised by Dr. Ellberger, the founder and director of Downtown Behavioral Wellness.

You’ll receive the same level of empathy, professionalism, and evidence-based approach that defines our practice—just at a more accessible rate.
