Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel disorienting. If you're struggling with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or self-image issues, therapy can provide the tools to create lasting change. My trauma-informed approach integrates techniques like DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) to help you manage emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild trust in yourself. Together, we can explore the origins of your experiences and work to reshape patterns of behaviour to promote healing and growth.
In our work together, I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely—without fear of criticism or rejection. I believe in the importance of being able to explore your emotions and thoughts openly, while working collaboratively to understand and connect the different parts of yourself. This process is all about building self-trust and fostering a sense of acceptance, so you can feel safe within yourself. Our work together focuses on helping you navigate emotional intensity, strengthening your sense of self, and creating healthier, more balanced relationships.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You are not “too much”—you’ve just carried too much for too long.
If you live with intense emotions, fear of abandonment, or feel like you’re constantly swinging between extremes, you’re not broken—you’re doing your best to survive with a system that’s been deeply overwhelmed. I specialize in working with people who’ve been labeled with BPD and help them understand their internal world with more compassion and clarity. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we gently connect with the parts of you that protect, react, and long for love—so healing can happen at the root. You don’t have to keep living in chaos or self-blame. There is a path toward stability, connection, and a deeper sense of Self.

BPD
Tangled Minds Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
There are a lot of opinions about BPD. It is our most highly stigmatized mental health disorder—and having this label attached can be incredibly painful. The idea of your very personality being "disordered" can make change seem impossible.
I treat BPD as a nervous system, attachment-based issue. In plain speak: in folks with BPD, the parts of our brain that monitor our close relationships can get really, really triggered, activate our fight-or-flight systems, and spiral into some extreme behaviors or thoughts with huge emotions. BPD means the sense of self—the story of who we are—is often shaky and highly dependent on the people around us. This isn’t a stable foundation for healthy relationships or a healthy life.
While I am trained in the gold standard for BPD—Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—I heavily integrate attachment theory, Mentalization-Based Therapy (literally helping people think about their thoughts in new ways and not get so stuck in them), and mindfulness.
My BPD treatment approach has four parts:
Stabilization: Learning how to calm the nervous system. Breath practices, sensory grounding, coping strategies, and meditation help us slow down in the moment and get our brains back online.
Acceptance and Mentalization: Briefly diving into the history and origin of where BPD developed in the patient. It doesn’t come out of nowhere; understanding its roots helps patients accept that the big explosions of emotion are rooted in early coping strategies and that you were doing your best to survive. This helps us step back, see the scared parts with some love, and start to build new stories about how we want to act in the world.
Attachment: Locking in to how we want to act with the people in our lives. We get specific! We learn specific ways to express our emotions in healthy ways and how to ask for our emotional needs to be met in ways that actually get them met—with good boundaries. Having a trusted therapist here is key. Navigating intimate relationships is tough at the best of times, but a BPD diagnosis makes it way more difficult. Having someone who understands traumatized attachment patterns and can tell you when you’re off track can make a world of difference.
Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: This doesn’t mean learning to sit still and feel all-pervading calm and peace. I don’t think that’s actually a thing! Practicing mindfulness specifically tailored to attachment disorders is one of the most helpful things we can do to slow the brain down, be able to "label" the intense thoughts and feelings, step back, and follow through with new actions. It’s tough. No one likes sitting and having to actually watch what comes up in their brains, but it’s worth it. Self-compassion doesn’t mean letting ourselves off the hook for behaviors that are harmful to ourselves or others. It means systematically building a brain that can sit with pain, understand and feel it, and then act in ways that actually help. Again: difficult, but worth it.
BPD therapy is difficult. My clients usually end up in therapy because trying to fix it on their own hasn't worked. With a clear path and clear goals, a better life is possible.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
The primary model that I use with individuals with BPD symptoms is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Marsha Linehan has designed this model specifically for this diagnosis. In DBT, rather than solely challenging thoughts, which is typical in the cognitive behavioural model, I incorporate mindfulness skills to help you gain awareness of what bodily responses you experience when responding to dysfunctional thoughts and emotions. I also help you learn how to express your needs without letting emotions take over. In order to regulate emotions, I offer a variety of strategies and provide psychoeducation on assertiveness skills and interpersonal effectiveness.

Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition where you have challenges controlling emotions. You feel emotions more intensely and for longer than the average person.
Strong emotions (guilt, shame, anxiety, etc.) can be very painful and you may become angry easily. It is often difficult to feel positive emotions, like happiness and it can feel impossible to control your emotions. Relationships with your family and friends are affected by these emotions, and feelings of loneliness and isolation are a result.
When emotions run your life, you can experience extra challenges, such as:
Overreacting
Mood swings
Frequent crises
Suicidal thoughts and destructive behaviour
Impulsiveness
Substance misuse
Relationship problems
Fear of abandonment
Are these challenges familiar? Have you done a counselling program in the past to address these issues but would like to continue counselling?
The good news is that I have been providing counselling to individuals, and their partners/family members, who struggle with BPD and other challenges since 2015. I have experience helping people learn new skills and to change behaviours and take control of their lives.
Counselling can help you understand BPD and provide you with emotional support, skills and training to manage your emotions and improve your relationships with loved ones.
