BPD
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.

BPD
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.

BPD
Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Living with BPD often means feeling things more intensely than the people around you, and getting the message somewhere along the way that this made you "too much." I help you build real skills for riding out intense emotions and unstable relationships without needing to white-knuckle through them alone, while also working on the deeper piece - understanding where that intensity comes from and building a stronger, steadier sense of who you are underneath it.

BPD
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.
