Dr. Dana C. Avey
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MA, DBH, LMFT, BC-TMH, ADS, CRYT
Borderline Personality Disorder can be best described as an emotional intensity disorder. You feel more, feel it longer, and to more extreme than those around you. You're often left feeling empty and abandoned and experience instability in your relationships. There are ways to combat this and have healthy, thriving interpersonal relationships. We can work together to achieve this. If you are a loved one of someone diagnosed with BPD or someone you suspect has BPD, I can also be of help.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I support individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through evidence-based treatments designed to stabilize emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. One of the most effective therapies for BPD is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This helps reduce self-destructive behaviors and enhances overall wellbeing. Additionally, I incorporate Schema Therapy that can help address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior by helping individuals understand and change maladaptive schemas developed from past experiences. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, I aim to provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with BPD can work towards greater emotional stability, helathier relationships and improved quality of life.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Borderline Personality Disorder often reflects deep attachment wounds and intense fears of abandonment. My approach combines IFS, attachment and family systems work, and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and relationship repair. I also integrate psychodynamic and narrative therapies to uncover the stories beneath shame and reactivity. When needed, I work closely with prescribers to manage co-occurring symptoms, and I provide careful diagnostic clarification to distinguish BPD from trauma or bipolar presentations.
