Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist, LCSW
What often gets pathologized as borderline behavior is not fixed as a disorder; rather, these traits are a deeply human response to early experiences of misattunement, abandonment, and/or relational trauma. The intense emotions, fears of rejection, abandonment concerns, and difficulty trusting others can all stem from formative relationships where needs went unmet or inconsistently met.
In psychoanalytic work, we move beyond symptom management to understand the emotional logic beneath these patterns. Together, we create a therapeutic relationship where ruptures can be worked through instead of reenacted or avoided. Over time, this process helps build a more stable and integrated sense of self, one that can hold complexity, regulate affect, and feel secure in connection without losing authenticity.

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.

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.
