Borderline Personality Disorder therapists in Nanaimo, British Columbia BC, Canada CA
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.

Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
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.

I enjoy working with borderline personality disorder and find that the emotion based tools work the most as I focus on helping lead the client through a deeper integration of self, helping them understand their personality in totality with love and acceptance.
