PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Helping clients and families identify what they can change and what they can’t change is a major goal in DBT. In therapy, we help loved ones minimize their contributions to the problems (by invalidating) while also helping coach them in how to be real, transparent, and how to set their own limits.
Learning how and when to validate is a huge part of the process.

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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist, LCSW
What is often labeled as “borderline” reflects adaptations to early relational environments that were chronically intense and inconsistent, not a defective personality. 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.
