Sierra Dayton
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
I work closely with clients with BPD or BPD traits, including fear of abandonment, interpersonal relationship issues, self-harm, and suicidal ideations, to reduce the severity of their symptoms and to help increase their quality of life. I understand their is a huge stigma with BPD and I fight to rid that stigma on a daily basis by helping individuals with BPD feel like they matter. Many symptoms of BPD are rooted in maladaptive schemas, so I utilize schema-focused therapy to help clients identify, understanding, and dismantle their maladaptive schemas and replace them with adaptive, healthy, and positive schemas.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is often the treatment of choice. DBT helps individuals learn skills to manage intense emotions, regulate mood, improve interpersonal relationships, and increase distress tolerance. Therapy may also focus on exploring past experiences and underlying beliefs contributing to BPD symptoms, while promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
For people with a borderline personality structure, emotions can feel overwhelming and confusing and relationships intense and frustrating. making it hard to find relief. This experience can be compounded by stigma experienced from the label of "borderline personality disorder" and ineffectual treatments that fail to address the issues causing those distressing symptoms in the first place.
I approach the treatment of borderline personality from a psychodynamic perspective. I incorporate the best evidence available for improving emotion regulation and relationship stability and satisfaction. We work together to develop a trusting working relationship that feels safe enough to explore the psychological causes of your symptoms. As you do the hard work of inner exploration with me, you’ll discover new ways to express your feelings and get your needs met, leading to a more manageable life.
