RO-DBT Expertise

Since 2011, she has received intensive training and supervision directly from Professor Thomas Lynch, the developer of RO-DBT. As a clinician on the pilot site, she was the first to conduct individual sessions and co-facilitated the initial skills classes.
Dr. Rushbrook is among the first clinicians to be formally endorsed as an RO-DBT trainer and supervisor, and she has supervised RO-DBT therapists since 2015. She has also delivered numerous intensive training courses, including joint sessions with Professor Lynch.
