Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right,” but inside, it’s chaos — emotions feel too big, relationships feel uncertain, and you’re just exhausted from trying to hold it all together. You might feel like you’re too much one moment and not enough the next. Maybe you’ve carried deep pain for years, and you’re just ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults who live with the intensity, sensitivity, and strength that often come with BPD. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your experience. Together, we’ll explore the protective parts and patterns that helped you survive — and build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and worthy of stability and care.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to move from surviving to truly living, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Borderline Personality Disorder often reflects deep attachment wounds and intense fears of abandonment. My approach combines IFS, attachment and family systems work, and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and relationship repair. I also integrate psychodynamic and narrative therapies to uncover the stories beneath shame and reactivity. When needed, I work closely with prescribers to manage co-occurring symptoms, and I provide careful diagnostic clarification to distinguish BPD from trauma or bipolar presentations.

Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Borderline Personality Disorder is an illness that makes emotions difficult to manage. One may have difficulty relating to others, coping with stress, reckless behavior, strong feelings of isolation and abandonment, and challenges understanding other people’s points of view. BPD is sometimes also called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) as the name is more descriptive to the actual condition.
BPD commonly presents in adolescence or early adulthood with intense moods, suicidal thoughts, addictive behaviors, inability to maintain jobs and relationships, and paranoid thoughts. Because of the extreme mood swings, BPD is frequently misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder, however, the mood changes with BPD are typically much shorter in overall duration.
Treatment is typically a combination of psychotherapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. There are no medications specifically to treat BPD but there are support groups that can help when struggling to cope with these significant emotions. People living with BPD are able to improve their lives with the help of therapy and other kinds of support.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I support individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through evidence-based treatments designed to stabilize emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. One of the most effective therapies for BPD is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This helps reduce self-destructive behaviors and enhances overall wellbeing. Additionally, I incorporate Schema Therapy that can help address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior by helping individuals understand and change maladaptive schemas developed from past experiences. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, I aim to provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with BPD can work towards greater emotional stability, helathier relationships and improved quality of life.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Living with intense emotions can feel exhausting. You may experience overwhelming fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, rapid shifts in emotions, relationship struggles, or a constant fear of being left, rejected, or misunderstood.
Many people feel ashamed of these experiences or believe something is wrong with them.
In reality, these patterns often make sense in the context of attachment wounds, relational trauma, and painful life experiences.
Together, we'll work to better understand these patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and help you feel more stable, secure, and connected.

Dr. Dana C. Avey
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MA, DBH, LMFT, BC-TMH, ADS, CRYT
Borderline Personality Disorder can be best described as an emotional intensity disorder. You feel more, feel it longer, and to more extreme than those around you. You're often left feeling empty and abandoned and experience instability in your relationships. There are ways to combat this and have healthy, thriving interpersonal relationships. We can work together to achieve this. If you are a loved one of someone diagnosed with BPD or someone you suspect has BPD, I can also be of help.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
We offer a DBT group virtually for adolescence and adults to learn, interpersonal communication as well as emotional regulation and skills that allow mindfulness incorporated into daily habits. This can help calm the mind with black-and-white thinking, and instead give the ability to self regulate and manage emotions and create healthy boundaries, the goal is having healthy relationships, starting with compassion and love for ourselves.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Many people given a “borderline” label are actually highly sensitive, attachment-injured, and doing their best to stay connected. I offer an affirming, trauma-responsive approach that helps you understand intense emotions, reduce impulsive or self-protective behaviors, and create safer relationships. Drawing from parts work/IFS and skills from DBT/ACT, we focus on building self-compassion and stability rather than pathologizing you.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating Borderline Personality Disorder for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.

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.

Tucson's large Hispanic population — spanning both sides of the US-Mexico border — and its position as a university city anchored by the University of Arizona together define the city's therapy landscape. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand, and therapists experienced with border-crossing trauma, immigration stress, and bicultural identity serve an important clinical role. The city's proximity to the Tohono O'odham Nation and other tribal communities creates demand for therapists trained in Indigenous trauma, historical loss, and culturally grounded care. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community serving the Foothills, midtown, and the university corridor.
