Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It has been said that when you have Borderline Personality disorder (BPD), its hard to tell where your emotions end and your loved ones emotions start. In BPD, I look to my loved one to validate me, to tell me I am okay because my own sense of self worth is so fragile or non-existent. If a loved one gets mad at me or has negative emotions I go into an emotional spiral that is crazy making because I end up in an identity crisis. If you can relate to this, give us a call, we would like to help you.

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.

Borderline personality disorder often involves intense emotions, painful relationship patterns, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, or feeling unsure of who you are.

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.

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.

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. I enjoy teaching people tools and skills to regulate their emotions, be effective in their daily lives, and get their needs met.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
