Helen Kapan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
BPD is a very treatable diagnosis and I use a number of approaches to help a person feel more able to regulate emotions and improve their relationship with self and others as they feel more centered and whole, overall. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can be very helpful toward overcoming common struggles faced with BPD.

John D. Gartner
Psychologist, Ph.D.
BPD is very treatable, but it's important to see a specialist.
I began my practice after completing a post-doctoral fellowship in Treatment of Borderline Disorder at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, using the methods pioneered Dr. Otto Kernberg. For the last 5 years, I've integrated some aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my practice, especially mindfulness meditation.
