Here's what others have to say
about Lane Pederson's Dialectical Behavior Therapy trainings:
After 40 years of doing therapy, I've moved into the possibility of operating from a conscious competence level of practice informed by flexible, generously shared, mutually reinforcing models. Spending a day last week with Lane at the 2015 Psychotherapy Networker Symposium was a gift. His knowledge, skill, integrity, humility, and generosity are so real and available, I want to learn all I can. My body may be older than Lane's, but I still want to be like him when I grow up. I look forward to giving my best, and receiving all I am able to from you.
- Psychotherapy Networker Symposium Attendee
Evidence Based! Approachable and accessible. Lane is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Lane and this training to others.

Excellent! Combined content with humor which kept the group involved. I really enjoyed Lane's "do what works" approach.
- Adam (Swartz Creek, MI)
Lane is a very well-spoken and informed presenter with a tremendous amount of expertise to share.
- Marianne (Huntington Station, NY)
I love the flexible approach. I have been in seminars for 40+ years and it is rare for me to stay with it for four days, but Lane did it!
- Walter (Bloomington, IN)
I learned a lot & the information was helpful as we went over the DBT stages, application of skills, nature and importance of the structure of this therapy, as well as Lane's expertise & evidence-based support of therapy. Watching Lane conduct DBT sessions was very helpful too.
- Counselor (Denver, CO)
I appreciate that Lane doesn't try to convince me that his style of therapy is the only good therapy. Hands down the most helpful seminar I have attended to this point!
