Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I support individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through evidence-based treatments designed to stabilize emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. One of the most effective therapies for BPD is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This helps reduce self-destructive behaviors and enhances overall wellbeing. Additionally, I incorporate Schema Therapy that can help address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior by helping individuals understand and change maladaptive schemas developed from past experiences. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, I aim to provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with BPD can work towards greater emotional stability, helathier relationships and improved quality of life.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in borderline personality disorder (BPD), my treatment approach is comprehensive, empathetic, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Utilizing evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), schema therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, I collaborate closely with clients to address emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and identity disturbances characteristic of BPD. Through skill-building exercises, emotion regulation techniques, and exploration of past experiences, we work together to develop coping strategies and promote self-awareness. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing validation and support throughout the healing process. My goal is to empower individuals with BPD to cultivate stability, improve relationships, and lead fulfilling lives.

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.
