How are you handling COVID-19?


Will you take my insurance?

Blue Cross & Blue Shield, AETNA, MeDicare, and medicaid

DBT Center of Lawrence is currently accepting clients with the following insurance:

  • Blue Cross & Blue Shield

  • Aetna

  • Medicare

  • United Medicaid/Optum

  • Sunflower Health Plan

  • Aetna Kancare

Some insurance plans have a high deductible and offer a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). You can use available funds in these accounts to pay for services.

We aspire to provide services on a sliding scale in the future, however, we are a new business and are therefore unable to offer flexibility with payment at this time. If you are looking for resources that offer a sliding scale, please consider looking into affordable options.


I am already in therapy. Can I continue to work with my current therapist and participate in DBT at the DBT Center?

Our program requires weekly individual therapy with a DBT therapist and weekly DBT group. Therefore, clients of the DBT Center work solely with a DBT therapist for the time that they are participating in DBT, so that the therapy they receive is consistent with the model. Moreover, most insurance companies will not cover all individual services when there is more than one primary provider. Clients may choose to resume treatment with their individual therapist when they graduate from our program.


Which areas in Kansas do you serve?

Lawrence, Kansas City, Baldwin City, Eudora, Topeka,
and University of Kansas

There are no county restrictions at DBT Center; we can accept clients from any county within Kansas.
