Anna Precht, PsyD, and Candace Eddy Rhodes, LICSW previously served as Directors of a nationally recognized DBT residential program for adolescents and young adults at McLean Hospital, where they worked closely with young people and the families who support them.

They have reunited with a shared mission: to bring the power of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) beyond treatment settings and into everyday family life by making its core skills and concepts more practical, accessible, and usable for caregivers.

Together, they created a compassionate, evidence-based guide designed to help parents and caregivers respond more effectively—and more confidently—to the emotional and behavioral challenges facing children, teens, and young adults today.
