BPD
Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
We work with this from a trauma and dyadic or family systems parts work perspective or attachment trauma recovery framework, and or a functional health perspective depending on whether the expression seems to stem from trauma, relational/systemic adaptation, or physiological impacts. For example, often BPD is an adaptive response to living or being in intensive proximity with someone with NPD, so in that case the approach might be more dyadic/systems parts work based. Please feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT posits that people are doing the best they can and if they are struggling it is because they did not learn the basic tools and skills they needed from their care takers in childhood.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
What is often labeled as “borderline” or a "personality disorder" reflects adaptations to early relational environments that were chronically intense and inconsistent, not a defective person. Heightened emotional sensitivity and fears around closeness often develop as ways of staying connected and safe.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how these patterns show up in the present, especially in relationships that matter. Over time, this work supports greater emotional stability, depth, and a more secure sense of self rather than short-term symptom control.

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.

BPD
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I take an Ambivalent Attachment perspective, meaning that my view of BPD is that is a more severe expression of an Ambivalent Attachment style. In sessions, I will maintain a safe and predictable environment, supporting a space for each of us to be in charge of our own stories and emotional states. I'll be gentle in nonverbal and verbal communication, and, will model personal boundaries between and in sessions. We may incorporate EMDR or parts work into a primarily DARE approach of being with the felt-sense of connection, highlighting what feels safe and unsafe, trusting and mistrusting, predicable and chaotic. From a place of safe connection, we'll revisit the wounded parts from your past with nurturing openness and adaptability, while maintaining integrity and authenticity of your Core Self.

Borderline personality Disorder will make it very difficult for an individual to interact with others on a daily basis due to that person feeling confused about themselves. The emotions can become extreme, such as in impulsivity, as well as, instability and intensity within one’s relationships.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Helping clients and families identify what they can change and what they can’t change is a major goal in DBT. In therapy, we help loved ones minimize their contributions to the problems (by invalidating) while also helping coach them in how to be real, transparent, and how to set their own limits.
Learning how and when to validate is a huge part of the process.
