BPD
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.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a nervous system that experiences emotions at full volume — intense, rapid, and difficult to contain. The brain's regulatory circuits, particularly those governing emotional response and impulse control, are chronically overwhelmed.
Neurofeedback trains these circuits toward greater stability, reducing the intensity and speed of emotional flooding. Patients often report feeling a new neurological pause between trigger and reaction — space that makes genuine self-regulation possible for the first time.

Oceanside is a coastal city in northern San Diego County situated directly adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, one of the largest Marine Corps installations in the country, and the city's mental health landscape is heavily shaped by the needs of active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Trauma, PTSD, military sexual trauma, deployment stress, and the challenges of military-to-civilian transition are among the most common concerns for therapists working in the area. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Oceanside, and several private practices specialize specifically in military-affiliated populations. The city also has a growing civilian population of families and retirees attracted by its beaches and lower housing costs than central San Diego, and general therapy needs are well served by a broad network of local practitioners.
