Understanding Dialectical Behavior Therapy: An Insight into Transformative Mental Health Practices
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is more than just a therapeutic practice; it’s a powerful, evidence-based approach that synthesizes the best of various therapeutic disciplines into a robust toolkit for self-improvement. Imagine being equipped with the mastery over essential skills that not only help you navigate but also thrive in the face of life’s challenges. DBT is your answer to combating the darkness of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, emotional turmoil, addiction, and the painful isolation that can arise from strained relationships.
Extensive research since the 1980s has validated DBT's transformative potential, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing emotional regulation, articulating your needs, establishing firm boundaries, and building resilience in times of distress. This isn’t just therapy; it’s a lifeline to a more fulfilling existence. While it's true that DBT isn’t suitable for everyone and demands a courageous willingness to embrace change and cultivate a “life worth living,” the rewards are profound. If you’re ready to take the reins of your life, to face and conquer the challenges that stand in your way, we are here for you.
Don’t hesitate—reach out to our dedicated team of therapists today. Discover how DBT can be the catalyst for the change you deserve!

Clinical Opportunities at KMHP or The DBT Center
KMHP and The DBT Center are actively seeking to contract with clinicians across various specialties as we strive to enhance our comprehensive suite of mental health services. Our objective is to establish ourselves as the premier destination for mental health care. Currently, we offer a range of services, including psychological evaluations—catering to both children and adults—play therapy, psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and medication management.
Our primary aim is to empower our contracted clinicians to retain a greater proportion of their monthly earnings by offering flexible contracts that deliberately exclude the restrictive and detrimental clauses often found in private practice agreements. Our clinic was founded by two experienced therapists who have successfully navigated diverse mental health environments, including community mental health centers, group practices, crisis clinics, and partial hospitalization programs. We fully recognize the challenges faced by therapists, which has guided us in creating an environment that prioritizes professional autonomy and income maximization. If you find this opportunity appealing, we encourage you to reach out to Drs. Donnie Latuch and Scott Stegman via the following email addresses: drlatuch@kmhp.ofwichita.org or scott@kmhp.ofwichita.org.
We believe that work should not be a source of stress; join us in fostering a more supportive and rewarding professional experience.
