Warner Park Recovery Center
Treatment Center, DHCS# 190116AP
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) treatment at our facility is tailored to address the complex and nuanced challenges associated with this condition. Our skilled team of mental health professionals employs evidence-based therapeutic approaches, with a primary focus on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Through DBT, individuals with BPD learn effective strategies for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Psychoeducation is integral to the treatment, providing individuals with a deeper understanding of BPD and its impact on their lives. The therapeutic process emphasizes building a trusting and collaborative relationship, allowing individuals to explore the underlying factors contributing to their symptoms. Our goal is to empower individuals with BPD to develop healthier coping mechanisms, enhance their self-image, and establish more stable and fulfilling relationships, fostering long-term emotional well-being.

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.
