Laura DeAngelo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
I trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy first as a DBT Clinical Intern and then as a DBT Therapist for five years at the Center for Human Development in West Springfield, MA, before going into private practice. I received training through Marsha Linehan's Behavioral Tech Institute and I use her book DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets (second or third edition) extensively with clients experiencing emotional and behavioral dysregulation due to borderline personality disorder or borderline traits. I am also training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) at the advanced level, which is effective in working through emotions from traumatic childhood memories often associated with BPD.

Michelle Hoffman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Learning how to effectively parent a teenager who is displaying borderline tendencies can be counterintuitive. My goal is to support parents in understanding the 'whys' behind the behavior and how to respond in a way that meets their child's need while maintaining their family values. Please note: while I use DBT techniques, I am not a trained DBT practitioner.

South Boston is a historic Boston neighborhood whose Irish-American working-class roots now coexist with the gleaming Seaport District and a wave of young professionals, a transformation that has brought both prosperity and displacement pressure for long-established families. The neighborhood has one of Boston's most visible and organized recovery communities, shaped by the deep impact of the opioid crisis, and recovery support is woven into local civic life. Residents have access to one of the country's strongest therapy markets, with Boston's teaching hospitals and a dense network of private practitioners within easy reach.
