BPD
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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, or you recognize patterns of intense emotions, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, or impulsive reactions, you may feel misunderstood or overwhelmed by your own responses. You might experience emotions that shift quickly and powerfully, leaving you exhausted or ashamed afterward.
At Selah Counselling, we approach borderline personality disorder with compassion and structure. We understand that these patterns often develop from early attachment wounds, trauma, or chronic invalidation. Your reactions make sense in the context of your story. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation skills, strengthening identity, increasing distress tolerance, and creating healthier relational boundaries. Our goal is to help you experience greater stability, clearer thinking during emotional moments, and relationships that feel more secure and less chaotic. Change is possible with consistent support, practical tools, and a safe therapeutic relationship where you are fully seen and respected.
