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.

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.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
Very experienced in Borderline. I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present. Borderlines deserve healthy boundaries.
