BPD
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Borderline personality disorder is characterized by a nervous system that experiences emotions at full volume — intense, rapid, and difficult to contain. The brain's regulatory circuits, particularly those governing emotional response and impulse control, are chronically overwhelmed.
Neurofeedback trains these circuits toward greater stability, reducing the intensity and speed of emotional flooding. Patients often report feeling a new neurological pause between trigger and reaction — space that makes genuine self-regulation possible for the first time.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Living with intense emotions can feel exhausting. You may experience overwhelming fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, rapid shifts in emotions, relationship struggles, or a constant fear of being left, rejected, or misunderstood.
Many people feel ashamed of these experiences or believe something is wrong with them.
In reality, these patterns often make sense in the context of attachment wounds, relational trauma, and painful life experiences.
Together, we'll work to better understand these patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and help you feel more stable, secure, and connected.

BPD
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.
