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.

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.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be a hugely mis-conceptualized disorder. Since it's root problem stems from attachment, therapy is relational. Clients learn how to develop a healthy, secure, and safe relationship with themselves and with a safe adult (therapist), sometimes for the first time. Clients learn to unpack, understand, and increase awareness to how their attachment styles impacts their emotions, their thoughts, and their behavior. Learning how to build a better foundation by restructuring certain thoughts and behaviors, while also regulating emotions, setting boundaries, and developing effective communication skills is.
