Borderline Personality Disorder
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
The primary model that I use with individuals with BPD symptoms is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Marsha Linehan has designed this model specifically for this diagnosis. In DBT, rather than solely challenging thoughts, which is typical in the cognitive behavioural model, I incorporate mindfulness skills to help you gain awareness of what bodily responses you experience when responding to dysfunctional thoughts and emotions. I also help you learn how to express your needs without letting emotions take over. In order to regulate emotions, I offer a variety of strategies and provide psychoeducation on assertiveness skills and interpersonal effectiveness.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist (P7619) in Alberta, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) for the rest of Canada
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is extremely challenging. Individuals who suffer with BPD experience intense emotional turmoil, unstable relationships, and a fragile sense of self. Mood swings, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors can lead to tumultuous interpersonal relationships and difficulties in daily life. People with BPD often struggle with feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, and a distorted self-image. Managing BPD entails engaging with a helper who understands their situation, commitment to developing coping skills that includes accepting support that may include medication. Despite challenges, with treatment and support, individuals with BPD can manage and lead fulfilling lives. Daniel has several close family members with BPD, and he understands both the struggles they face and those experienced by their loved ones.

I have been working with clients with borderline personality disorder since 2009. I know that childhood trauma and everyday stress make you feel that people around you don't understand you, they are trustworthy and make you feel angry. During our session, we will try to bring structure to your life and learn how to increase self-confidence, energy level and inner peace.

Using Schema Therapy, I support clients with Borderline Personality Disorder. We start with initial assessments and follow up at three months to monitor progress.
