Having been intensively trained in DBT (the gold standard treatment for BPD), I have many years experience helping people who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder learn how to create a life worth living. I know most people who have been labeled as BPD are intelligent, dynamic, and talented. I can help you learn how to navigate relationships, including your relationship with yourself, so you can enjoy life again and reach your full potential.

BPD
Stephanie Featherston
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Div, MS, EdS,LPC
Borderline personality disorder should not be an accusation but should be a means of understanding how someone attaches to others and to themselves. It can come with a great deal of shame and fear. I believe that, over time, we can help you get to know and understand yourself such that you can respond differently in triggering situations. People with borderline are simply continuing what they had to do to survive before. With patience, courage, and compassion, I believe positive change is possible.

BPD
Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood and underserved diagnoses in mental health - and one of the most treatable. If you or your teen has been diagnosed with BPD, or if you recognize the patterns of intense emotions, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, and impulsive behavior, you are not beyond help. Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed specifically for BPD and has decades of research supporting its effectiveness. I am intensively trained in DBT and have specific experience working with clients managing BPD across its full range of severity.
12 Years Experience
Online in Athens, GA
Athens is home to the University of Georgia and has cultivated a reputation as one of the South's most vibrant college cities, with a legendary music scene—birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s—a strong arts community, and a progressive political culture that contrasts with the surrounding rural Georgia context, producing a city with a well-developed and diverse therapy landscape relative to its size. UGA's Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is the primary mental health resource for the city's enormous student population, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including university staff, the arts and music community, and permanent residents. The sharp economic inequality between the university and creative communities and the city's lower-income and Black neighborhoods is an important dimension of the mental health landscape, and therapists in Athens work across a wide range of economic and cultural contexts. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, creative community stress, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, racial equity, and the challenges of a city where prosperity and poverty exist in close proximity.
