BPD
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.

Although we are not a practice that conducts very strict DBT therapy, components of DBT, along with relational and narrative therapy are used to reach our mutual goals. Many clients with BPD features struggle to see how they are affecting their environment and their own outcomes. Dr. Wax works closely through openness and a strong relationship to identify maladaptive thought, belief, and behavior patterns causing clients to feel lonely, isolated, and often like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
