DBT Maryland

I give DBT Maryland my highest recommendation for individual, group and family DBT. All of the therapists, including Amanda, Kerstin, Elissa and Bobby are highly skilled and knowledgeable. If your teen is struggling to manage their emotions or having difficulties managing interpersonal relationships, DBT Maryland is an accessible and affordable resource!

While I have not used the services of DBT Maryland personally, I have known the owner, Amanda Pezzanite, since she was 15 years old and became my (then) 3 - 8 year old daughter’s frequent and best babysitter and later became a nanny for the daughter of a very good friend of the family. Even then, Amanda was a standout in terms of her genuine caring for children and their well-being and I have witnessed her grow from a responsible, dedicated college student into a young mental health professional and now into a very seasoned one. But the core characteristics remain the same: dedication, genuine caring about individuals in her care in whatever capacity, be they young or older. In fact, when my daughter hit a very rough patch in her adolescence, Amanda STILL showed deep concern for her and spent time with her, not in a therapeutic capacity, but in a personal one. She is a person of great integrity and character — a person who can absolutely be trusted with those you love most: your children.
