John D. Gartner
Psychologist, Ph.D.
BPD is very treatable, but it's important to see a specialist.
I began my practice after completing a post-doctoral fellowship in Treatment of Borderline Disorder at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, using the methods pioneered Dr. Otto Kernberg. For the last 5 years, I've integrated some aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my practice, especially mindfulness meditation.

Robert F. Cook
Psychologist, (Psy.D.)
I have experience providing Dialectal-Behavioral Therapy. While this is not my primary modality, I believe that using the DBT model combined with general practices can be extremely helping for people struggling with borderline personality disorder. This difficult is horribly misunderstood and difficult to live with and is something I have experience helping people work through.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is often considered the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, offering a comprehensive approach that addresses emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and self-destructive behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy can delve into underlying conflicts and attachment issues contributing to the development of borderline personality traits, promoting insight and self-awareness. Additionally, relational therapy focuses on repairing and improving interpersonal relationships, which is crucial for individuals with borderline personality disorder who often struggle with intense and unstable relationships.
