SageMind Psychology offers an integrative DBT + EMDR Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) designed for individuals seeking comprehensive trauma treatment. This program is ideal for clients whose symptoms are maintained by unresolved trauma, along with challenges in emotion regulation, impulsive behaviors, or interpersonal instability. By combining trauma-focused EMDR with structured DBT skills training, this program helps clients heal from the past while building the skills to thrive in the present and future.
Our Trauma Track is available in-person in Brooklyn Heights, virtually across New York and over 40 states, and in a hybrid format, providing flexible access to high-quality trauma care.
Individualized, Collaborative Care
Every client receives a personalized treatment plan designed around their clinical needs and personal goals. For those needing more intensive support, services can be scheduled several times per week, offering consistent engagement and near-daily therapeutic support.

Why DBT + EMDR is Effective
Trauma often leaves the brain in a prolonged “fight or flight” state, making it difficult to learn essential social-emotional skills. By combining EMDR trauma processing with DBT skills training, clients not only heal from past experiences but also develop resilience, emotional balance, and the tools to create a life aligned with their values.
