Borderline Personality Disorder
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Borderline Personality Disorder is generally characterized by difficulty in maintaining stable primary relationships due to unmet needs that show up as symptoms, such as being demanding or trying to control another person. People with BPD may truly desire intimacy, while at the same time, fear exposing their vulnerability and risking more pain and abandonment. If you suffer from BPD, you may be ambivalent in your relationships with others, often resulting in ongoing chaos or "drama." I can help you to uncover what lies beneath the behaviors that propel your interactions with others, and learn how to foster stable, reciprocal relationships.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I take an Ambivalent Attachment perspective, meaning that my view of BPD is that is a more severe expression of an Ambivalent Attachment style. In sessions, I will maintain a safe and predictable environment, supporting a space for each of us to be in charge of our own stories and emotional states. I'll be gentle in nonverbal and verbal communication, and, will model personal boundaries between and in sessions. We may incorporate EMDR or parts work into a primarily DARE approach of being with the felt-sense of connection, highlighting what feels safe and unsafe, trusting and mistrusting, predicable and chaotic. From a place of safe connection, we'll revisit the wounded parts from your past with nurturing openness and adaptability, while maintaining integrity and authenticity of your Core Self.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
What is often labeled as “borderline” or a "personality disorder" reflects adaptations to early relational environments that were chronically intense and inconsistent, not a defective person. Heightened emotional sensitivity and fears around closeness often develop as ways of staying connected and safe.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how these patterns show up in the present, especially in relationships that matter. Over time, this work supports greater emotional stability, depth, and a more secure sense of self rather than short-term symptom control.
