Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
One of the most stigmatizing disorders, one that many will not understand unless they themselves live with it. As a clinician with BPD, I know the day-to-day challenges of the disorder both personally and academically. I do not believe in using solely top down approaches like DBT since BPD is a list of symptoms rooted in early childhood traumatic experiences/ events which we then build strategies to avoid in the future for survival. However, although this may initially be helpful, overtime it becomes more damaging than good and in order to change these reactions we have to first befriend and understand why it exists within us. This reduces the shame and guilt and empowers us to make the changes we envision with a thorough understanding of the self.

This journey is about finding balance, understanding your identity, and cultivating resilience to navigate life more effectively.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
If you're experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder it's likely that you're feeling disconnected from or completely out of control of your emotions. Your relationships aren't what you'd like them to be and you might feel hopeless that things will change. Perhaps you've tried to cope with all the pain and disappointment by using drugs or alcohol or engaging in self-harm or other dangerous behaviour - this likely worked and gave you temporary relief but eventually the feelings return.
We have extensive experience supporting teens and adults showing signs of BPD. We are trained in evidence based strategies (primarily DBT - or trauma therapies if trauma is also present) to help you regain control of emotions, find stability in your relationships, and learn to tolerate distress. We can also support your family so that they can better support you.
It's possible that you've tried therapy in the past - perhaps it wasn't a good experience. We appreciate that it can be difficult to find a therapist that is a good fit and recognize that this will be a huge predictor of your success in therapy. We invite you to contact us for a free 15-minute consultation so that you can meet with the therapist, ask any questions that you might have, and get a sense of whether they are the right therapist for you.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Mental health labels can be incredibly helpful because they point to a helpful path for the people suffering. BPD is another label. From my experience working with people with this diagnosis for the past several years, I've seen a strong link between BPD and Trauma. Often times, BPD symptoms serve as coping mechanism. Despite the challenges you may have faced with symptoms of BPD, it kept you alive, and enabled you to take this courageous step today! This is an achievement. The first of many to come, with your committment!
