Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
The BPD and Trauma Connection Several trauma survivors have been diagnosed by other professionals with BPD , even though it is thought to be genetic in some cases. I have had extensive experience dealing with those who have been affected by this disorder due to the abuse or neglect they sustained during childhood. As a Mental Health Worker/Counsellor, on Ottawa's Victim Quick Response List for the past 9 years, I have successfully worked with over hundreds of Victim Service clients, in such areas as, child abuse, sexual trauma and exploitation including rape, incest, being sex trafficked, along with intimate partner violence.
Individuals with BPD reflect an attachment injury leading them to the formulation of implausible perceptions and conclusions about what other people’s actions and behaviors. Their distorted fashion of interpretation leads them to believe that they cannot trust anyone as this would only involve disappointment. As a child, when their caregiver did not show up for them, they tried desperately to adapt repeatedly, however were unsuccessful and learned that this involves too much energy and does not work. They continue to experience life as a child, as they have been left with these intense perspectives and overwhelming emotions which are turned up to maximum volume on much of what they feel. When these states become traits, they cause profound distress. Rejection sensitivity is a key feature of this disorder resulting in interpersonal difficulties, along with failed relationships characterized by extreme feelings of emptiness, abandonment, and lack of identity. All these behaviors further lead to the tendency for those around them to feel that they are walking on eggshells.
I often used both experiential inner child work in addition to Dialectical Behavior Skills to address the issues involved in this disorder.
The role of counselling for those with BPD is to start to uncover painful emotional wounds and feelings which they have disconnected from for years. Rather than sitting with and experiencing their feelings clients with BPD have been experts in covering, hiding, or dissociating from them. Interventions involving DBT-Dialectic Behavior Therapy includes skills training connected to Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation(Anger management), and Distress Tolerance, which is comprised of stress management, conflict resolution as well as cognitive behavior therapy.
While it has taken considerable time, I have helped many with this process through patience, understanding and validation of what they had been through. I help to provide light at the end of this dark tunnel .

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
So many labels we use have negative connotations and BPD is no different. I am not as interested in your label as much as I am interested in your story and experience and how you experience BPD or BPD traits. My passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. You may be experiencing relational difficulties/ frustrations or feeling triggered by important others in your life. Do you cope by shutting down or avoiding? Are you ready to get to the bottom of things? If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better and managing anxiety, then I can help. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help, and how life can open up when you do. I strive to provide relevant, responsive and collaborative therapy by prioritizing rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties, even though some days it can feel that way; and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. We use an eclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-focused, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, Solution-Focused and EMDR to tailor therapy to you. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and how they impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey.
Contact us directly to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.

Angela Fawcett
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, RSW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses, yet it is also highly treatable. People living with BPD often experience emotions intensely, making the world feel overwhelming and relationships feel confusing, dysregulating, or even frightening. Beneath these struggles is often a deep longing for connection, stability, and understanding. I draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, self-compassion, and healthier relationship patterns. With the right support, people can learn to regulate emotions, build secure relationships, strengthen their sense of self, and create meaningful, fulfilling lives. Recovery is possible, and many individuals with BPD experience significant healing and lasting change.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
If you're experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder it's likely that you're feeling disconnected from or completely out of control of your emotions. Your relationships aren't what you'd like them to be and you might feel hopeless that things will change. Perhaps you've tried to cope with all the pain and disappointment by using drugs or alcohol or engaging in self-harm or other dangerous behaviour - this likely worked and gave you temporary relief but eventually the feelings return.
We have extensive experience supporting teens and adults showing signs of BPD. We are trained in evidence based strategies (primarily DBT - or trauma therapies if trauma is also present) to help you regain control of emotions, find stability in your relationships, and learn to tolerate distress. We can also support your family so that they can better support you.
It's possible that you've tried therapy in the past - perhaps it wasn't a good experience. We appreciate that it can be difficult to find a therapist that is a good fit and recognize that this will be a huge predictor of your success in therapy. We invite you to contact us for a free 15-minute consultation so that you can meet with the therapist, ask any questions that you might have, and get a sense of whether they are the right therapist for you.
