She completed Advanced Training for DBT Practitioners and is certified in DBT for treating children, adolescents, and adults who’ve experienced various life challenges including trauma. In 2009, Jeanette opened Suffolk DBT practice with the goal of establishing a group of intensively trained DBT therapists for clients dealing with PTSD, suicidal ideation, anger management, self-harm, and trauma.
