The Auburn-Davis Center for DBT has entered a new chapter of growth and service expansion with Tom Harrer assuming the role of CEO on January 1, 2025. With 18 years of clinical experience, Harrer brings a deep commitment to providing evidence-based mental health treatment for teens, young adults, and families facing complex emotional challenges.
The center will continue to offer a comprehensive range of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) services, including individual therapy, skills groups, phone coaching, and consultation teams. These programs are designed to support individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, self-harm, chronic suicidality, and other high-risk behaviors.
A key strategic focus for the center is increasing accessibility through expanded in-person and telehealth options across California. The organization's clinicians are specially trained in DBT and dedicated to delivering culturally responsive care to diverse communities.
The center's approach remains grounded in the gold-standard DBT model developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, emphasizing structured, skills-based therapeutic interventions. By maintaining strong partnerships with school districts, healthcare systems, and community mental health organizations, the center aims to provide seamless, high-quality care for clients with complex mental health needs.
This leadership transition and service expansion comes at a critical time when mental health support is increasingly crucial. By offering targeted, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the Auburn-Davis Center for DBT is positioning itself as a pivotal resource for individuals seeking comprehensive mental health treatment in Northern California.
