DBT KOREAㅣOur Commitment and Mission
Overcoming individuals’ difficulties and psychological pain through DBT
The best treatment program based on the most accurate evidence-based research
Meet the United States’ DBT Standard Program in Korea
DBT KOREAㅣHistory
Established in collaboration with Dr. Marsha Linehan and the expert team from Seattle to alleviate human suffering and distress, DBTKOREA’s headquarters in Korea and the DBT Institute of Korea.
DBT KOREA & Dr. Cho
Dr. Cho, the path he walk, is the path for pain and suffering; the DBT and Marsha Linehan’s philosophy, he believed, are the non-detachable companion of his walk to save people from their suffering.
DBT CreatorㅣMarsha M. Linehan
Dr. Marsha M. Linehan
Is a world-renowned scholar
who developed Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT.
Dr. Linehan’s research and passion for the treatment of
emotion regulation disorders and borderline personality disorder
have impressed experts worldwide, and up to this point,
countless clients are overcoming challenging symptoms
through DBT and living a new life.
In 2006, Dr. Marsha Linehan in Seattle asked me
with a firm and serious expression
why I wanted to start DBT and education in Korea.
It was a solemn question that confronted the sincerity within me.
Even now, that penetrating gaze and question from her
continue to keep my mind mindful and transparent.
In Korea, providing people in pain with new hope for life through high-quality DBT, similar to that in the United States.
And in order to do this, nurturing ethical DBT experts equipped with compassion and authenticity.
I conveyed these two heartfelt wishes.
In response to the transparent and mindful intention,
Dr. Linehan visited Seoul in person to support
the mission of DBT KOREA and to educate professionals in Korea.
Subsequently, with the support of the expert team in Seattle and Dr. Linehan’s visit to Seoul,
manual translation work for DBT KOREA, DBT classes for experts, and necessary tasks in Korea such as DBT for Koreans and English-speaking clients have been quietly carried out.
The DBT Institute of Korea and I share the philosophy and mission of Dr. Marsha Linehan,
and we are always open to professionals
who want to dedicate themselves to opening their hearts to reduce human suffering and pain.

Long-term Positive Emotion Building Skill | DBT Skill Training Class for Adults
Songhee Chae, M.A.
It’s difficult to feel happy without experiencing meaningful values of a life. This is the ultimate core principle of DBT. In reality, every life has a value, and there is no life without a value. However, what’s important is experiencing your own life as valuable. The experience of satisfaction and happiness is what’s most important.
