Below is a list of specialized services available through partnerships with local treatment centers and providers. Except for the Equine Assisted Therapy program, all services are offered on the TCU campus and are managed by the local staff, with TCU as the host site. These services are not covered by tuition, but many receive support from donors, with some programs fully funded at no cost to students. Most providers also accept insurance. Please discuss costs and coverage with each provider, as availability is limited due to donor support.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
“Restoration is a counseling practice in Fort Worth bringing DBT to TCU. DBT is a treatment that has been deemed the gold standard psychological treatment for a wide range of emotional dysfunctions such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress, and eating disorders. “Dialectical” Behavior Therapy means the synthesis or integration of opposites. Developed in 1980, the treatment approach intentionally exposes participants to “acceptance-oriented” and “change-oriented” skills. This is to help them confront the fear and change the emotional response patterns that trigger harmful behavior. Ultimately, Restoration exists to see lives restored, and DBT is a powerful therapy to begin that process.”
The Counseling and Mental Health Center is proud to collaborate with Restoration to provide Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for TCU students. Our DBT program consists of weekly group and individual sessions. For more information, contact Dr. Wood at e.c.wood@tcu.edu.
