Dan Finnegan, LICSW

Treatment is helping people reach their goals and utilizing the most effective means to get long lasting change. I am rooted in the evidence for effective practice and achieving outcomes for clients and their families. I have 25+ years of experience of providing quality evidence-based treatment in a non-judgemental manner to a wide variety of populations. Early in my career I had the opportunity to be part of the one of the first implementations of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to the Juvenile Justice institution in Washington state. This lead me to participating at Dr. Marsha Lineman's clinic and the University of Washington for 15 years as a student, research therapist for nationally funded DBT studies, (RCT'S for Adolescent DBT and the DBT-PE protocol), an adherence coder for several others, and supervisor of graduate students in DBT. I currently hold a Clinical Associate appointment at the University of Washington. For the last 10 years I was the DBT program Director and Clinical Director at Cadence. We proudly became one of the first Linehan Board of Certification- DBT certified programs in the country. In addition to DBT, I provide exposure based treatments for anxiety and OCD, Behavioral Parent Training and CBT for a variety of clinical presentations. Since 2010 I have been a trainer and consultant for Behavioral Tech, focusing on training and implementation of DBT and evidence based treatment to agencies and teams across North America. Feel free to contact me for training and assisting your team learn and implement DBT to a high degree of fidelity.
