Receiving a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder can be a frightening and confusing experience. If you have received this diagnosis please "give yourself a break". Healing and growth are possible, and the fact that you are reading this blurb suggests that you have all you need to begin a process of recovery.
Often people who have received this diagnosis experienced a great deal of trauma, and neglect in their childhood. The patterns of thought and behavior you developed were likely necessary for your survival into adulthood. Unfortunately, these same skills may now be leaving you feeling isolated, alienated and alone.
I believe that first a foremost it is important for us to develop a therapeutic relationship based on honesty and compassion. Additionally, I am informed by Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Dialectic Behavior Therapy.

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.

Jim Stangarone
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified psychodramatist (CP)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex diagnosis that involves a wide range of feelings and emotions that can be very destructive not only to the individual, to for loved ones as well. There is an overall sense of chaos frequently associated with BPD, including a deep sense of helplessness and despair. Our work together focuses on emotional control, self-reflection, and the exploration of your goals in life.
