Dabney Skutt

After completing her bachelor’s degree at Hanover College and her master’s degree at Ball State University, Dabney decided to join our phenomenal team here at Selah House. Dabney joined our team in May of 2021 after completing her internship with Selah House. Dabney supports the Selah House clinical team as a Primary PHP Therapist for adult clients.

Through completing her internship at Selah, she quickly found a passion for supporting this clientele. She has always been drawn to helping others and found this field to be so special. Along the way she has realized how unspoken eating disorders are in the mental health field and it values being an advocate to spread awareness.

Within her role, Dabney supports the clients as they prepare for life in recovery. She works through relapse prevention planning, securing support systems, reclaiming the “healthy self”, needs and value exploration, body image work, and more. Her approach is largely through the lens of acceptance versus resistance, which is applied through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Dabney’s goal is for her clients to reclaim their freedom from their eating disorder and regain kindness, understanding, and compassion for themselves.
