Diana Partington is a licensed professional counselor specializing in DBT. She wrote her master's thesis at Vanderbilt on teaching DBT skills to people with varied learning styles, such as social, kinesthetic, or visual learners. Since then, she has taught thousands of clients and therapists how to use DBT skills. Diana worked closely with editors, illustrators, and designers to create a beautiful book. She hopes that a self-help book full of life, color, and compassion will make DBT skills more accessible to everyone who needs them.
