BPD
Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
BPD is not something to be ashamed of - it is something to get help for. I have received advanced training in Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), a treatment modality designed to help people with Borderline Personality Disorder. The goal of this therapy is to help people become more self-aware of their emotional reactions and more skilled at regulating anxiety.

Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Attachment and nervous system dysregulation gets labeled as personality disorders in the therapeutic world. While some diagnoses can be helpful to understand ourselves, we can work on a holistic approach that includes but is not limited to DBT.

BPD
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Living with intense emotions can feel exhausting. You may experience overwhelming fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, rapid shifts in emotions, relationship struggles, or a constant fear of being left, rejected, or misunderstood.
Many people feel ashamed of these experiences or believe something is wrong with them.
In reality, these patterns often make sense in the context of attachment wounds, relational trauma, and painful life experiences.
Together, we'll work to better understand these patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and help you feel more stable, secure, and connected.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Borderline personality disorder often involves intense emotions, painful relationship patterns, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, or feeling unsure of who you are. I have advanced training in DBT, the gold-standard treatment for BPD. Treatment focuses on helping you better understand these patterns, build more effective coping strategies, and create greater stability in your emotions and relationships.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It has been said that when you have Borderline Personality disorder (BPD), its hard to tell where your emotions end and your loved ones emotions start. In BPD, I look to my loved one to validate me, to tell me I am okay because my own sense of self worth is so fragile or non-existent. If a loved one gets mad at me or has negative emotions I go into an emotional spiral that is crazy making because I end up in an identity crisis. If you can relate to this, give us a call, we would like to help you.
