DBT in Saskatoon

Structured DBT care available securely to Saskatoon residents.

Preparing for virtual care

Make the appointment clinically usable

A good online session depends on the environment as well as the video platform.

Private location

Choose a space where you can speak freely and where interruptions are unlikely.

Reliable connection

Use a device and internet connection that can support video, audio, and digital materials.

Local safety information

Keep your current Saskatoon location and an emergency contact available when risk is relevant.

How care begins

A clear pathway—without guessing where to start

You do not need to know the diagnosis, program, or clinician before reaching out.

01 — Secure intake

Tell us what is happening, what you want to change, and any safety, scheduling, or funding needs.

02 — Clinical fit review

A clinician reviews the pattern, risk level, goals, diagnosis questions, and amount of structure needed.

03 — Clear recommendation

You receive a proportionate recommendation: individual DBT, a group, guided support, coordinated care, or another pathway.

04 — Begin with a plan

Care starts with explicit targets, skills practice, progress review, and a plan for support between sessions.

Common questions

What people usually want to know before starting

Are sessions held in a Saskatoon office?

The current DBT Saskatchewan model is primarily secure virtual care. Any in-person availability is confirmed during intake.

Can I join a group from Saskatoon?

Yes, when the group is accepting participants and intake confirms that online group care is appropriate.

Do I need a Saskatoon physician referral?

No referral is generally required to begin the intake. Professional referrals are welcome.

Can Saskatoon insurance plans reimburse online DBT?

It depends on the plan, clinician credentials, and service. Confirm reimbursement directly with the insurer.

What if I need local emergency help?

Call 911 or use Saskatoon-area emergency and crisis services. DBT Saskatchewan is not an emergency provider.
