Finding a Psychiatric Provider Who Lists DBT in Texas
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, commonly called DBT, is a term many patients encounter while searching for mental-health care.
But seeing DBT on a provider profile does not automatically mean the clinician offers a complete structured DBT program.
That distinction is especially important when the provider is a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
A Current Texas Provider Listing DBT
MindCareHub currently lists Nicole Diaz, PMHNP-BC, as its Texas provider.
Her current treatment preferences include Dialectical Behavior (DBT), CBT, mindfulness-based approaches, motivational interviewing, person-centered care, trauma-focused approaches, and several others.
What Does a DBT Listing Tell You?
It tells you that DBT is identified among the provider’s treatment preferences.
It does not automatically establish:
- that every patient receives DBT;
- that the provider runs a comprehensive DBT program;
- that sessions follow a particular DBT curriculum;
- that group skills training is offered;
- that DBT is appropriate for your situation.
Ask for clarification.
Psychiatric Care and DBT Can Be Different Services
Nicole’s profile describes psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and personalized treatment planning.
If your primary goal is structured psychotherapy, ask:
- Do you personally provide psychotherapy?
- How do you incorporate DBT techniques?
- Is DBT part of psychiatric follow-up visits?
- Do you offer separate therapy appointments?
- Would I need to work with another therapist?
Treatment Approach Should Not Be the Only Filter
Also review:
- provider credentials;
- your main concern;
- specialties;
- age groups;
- state coverage;
- appointment format;
- insurance;
- cost.
A treatment approach you prefer is valuable only if the overall service also matches your needs.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
Try asking:
- How do you use DBT in your practice?
- Do you provide formal DBT psychotherapy?
- How long are appointments?
- What psychiatric services do you provide?
- Do you coordinate with separate therapists?
- Can you currently provide online care while I am in Texas?

Pro Tip: When a psychiatric provider lists DBT, ask whether they provide formal DBT psychotherapy or DBT-informed strategies within psychiatric care.
