BPD
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.

13 Years Experience
Online in Santa Maria, CA
Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
