Borderline Personality Disorder
Dri Edwards
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
I don't actually use this diagnosis. In most cases, the presenting issues are a response to interpersonal traumas that occurred in childhood (developmental trauma). A quality therapeutic alliance and the use of effective coping skills are especially critical for this population. A good fit between therapist and client is important in most therapies but is paramount here. Collaboration is essential.

Alice Bernstein
Psychologist, PhD.
I think of this diagnosis as an attempt to describe a multiplicity of problems in self concept, mood regulation, and interpersonal relationships. All of these areas will require attention in long term treatment. I am conversant with a variety of approaches to this complex state, including the mentalization and transference focused psychodynamic approaches as well as DBT.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you have received a diagnosis of BPD, then you know that mitigating your varying moods is critical to leading a full and happy life. I am committed to working with my patients so that they can develop a complete understanding of their own patterns and behaviors so that they can learn to anticipate when a shift might be coming, and what they can do to make that shift a little softer. This is a condition that also bears a lot of stigma, and I hope to create a judgement-free space where my patient feels emboldened to express themselves openly and honestly.

Therapist, M.S., LMFT-Associate, CTP, C-PD, Supervised Dr. Paula Boros, PhD, LMFT_S, AAMFT Approved Supervisor No.203704
BPD is a disorder that causes great difficulty in emotional regulation and emotional control. There can be extreme mood swings, emotional outbursts, impulsive anger, turbulent relationships and idealization and devaluation. BPD can mimic other disorders, thus it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. There is a belief that it is centered around emotional manipulation, yet that is not the case. There is a very high comorbidity with other issues such as substance abuse or self-harm as well. Suicidality is high among BPD due to the consensus that they see the world in only stark black and white, without the ability to reference and evaluate how things actually are. Therapy can greatly impact BDP symptoms and provide relief from this disorder.
