Rochester DBT Institute (ROCDBT) is a boutique private practice providing comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) clinical services with an emphasis on a warm, personal experience rather than a large clinic atmosphere. ROCDBT is a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification™ Certified DBT Program, the first certified program in Western New York and currently one of only three certified programs in the state. Dr. Allison Mauro, the practice owner, is also a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification™ Certified Clinician. These honors demonstrate that the program and its clinicians deliver comprehensive DBT with fidelity to the treatment model and a commitment to providing the highest quality of care to patients. 

Dr. Mauro and Assistant Clinical Director, Dr. Shannon Marthillo, are also active members of the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification (DBT-LBC) community, working to advance its mission of increasing access to evidence-based DBT while ensuring the highest standards of care, fidelity, and competency for both clinicians and programs. The DBT-LBC serves as a trusted resource for identifying providers who adhere to the research-based model developed by Marsha Linehan, reinforcing a shared commitment to quality, accountability, and excellence in DBT practice.
