Borderline Personality Disorder
Heather Champion
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator
Feeling empty, alone, unseen and unheard is a major feature of BPD as is feeling out of control and abusing substances, food, sex, shopping, and doing other crazy things. Often clinicians are fearful of treating BPD because of the propensity towards self-harm behaviors. For this reason, and the fact that I truly understand the loneliness and fear that come with BPD, I am not afraid to treat it and have had much success helping those that meet criteria for it find a happier place in their lives.

Borderline Personality Disorder
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.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) require therapy integral to their treatment. BPD is a complex and challenging mental health disorder characterized by intense and unstable emotions, self-image difficulties, impulsivity, and turbulent relationships. The purpose of therapy is to assist individuals in managing their feelings, enhancing their coping abilities, and developing healthier relationships with themselves and others.
The therapeutic approach selected for BPD can vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, severity of symptoms, and treatment objectives. The multifaceted nature of BPD is frequently treated with a combination of therapies and methods.
Therapy for BPD is frequently long-term, and the therapeutic relationship between the patient and therapist is essential for treatment success. Individuals with BPD must engage with mental health professionals with experience and knowledge in treating this complex disorder. Suppose you or someone you know is struggling with BPD. In that case, seeking assistance from a qualified mental health professional is recommended to develop an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a very treatable condition. However, it can be misdiagnosed for other disorders, and this can delay treatment gains. Following a thorough evaluation to establish BPD, I use one of three forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapy (i.e., Transference-Focused psychotherapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment, or Supportive Therapy) alone or in combination. All of these therapies have been tested in clinical trials. I have published professional works (e.g., articles; a book) on psychodynamic therapy. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.

Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel like riding an emotional rollercoaster — intense feelings, fears of abandonment, and relationships that swing between closeness and conflict. Many of my clients grew up in environments where love felt unpredictable, leaving them desperate for connection yet afraid of being hurt. In therapy, I offer a steady, non-judgmental space to explore these patterns, understand where they come from, and build healthier ways of relating. Over time, you can feel more grounded, trust your emotions, and experience relationships that feel safer and more stable.
