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.

Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
Hailey's area of specialty is BPD. BPD is a misunderstood diagnosis wherein many impacted have experienced lives of invalidation from their environment, which often includes the people trying to support them. Hailey has helped clients with BPD gain control of their diagnosis and learn to hone their emotional vulnerabilities as strengths. Hailey uses DBT strategies to assist BPD clients in gaining mastery of challenges posed by their diagnosis including: Difficulty maintaining concentration, dissociation; difficulty tolerance distress and accepting reality; difficulty labelling and managing challenging emotions; difficulty achieving and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships; and difficulties with ineffective ways of coping with dysregulation (addiction, self harm, eating issues, relationship conflict, avoidance, etc.)
