Borderline Personality Disorder
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
For people with a borderline personality structure, emotions can feel overwhelming and confusing and relationships intense and frustrating. making it hard to find relief. This experience can be compounded by stigma experienced from the label of "borderline personality disorder" and ineffectual treatments that fail to address the issues causing those distressing symptoms in the first place.
I approach the treatment of borderline personality from a psychodynamic perspective. I incorporate the best evidence available for improving emotion regulation and relationship stability and satisfaction. We work together to develop a trusting working relationship that feels safe enough to explore the psychological causes of your symptoms. As you do the hard work of inner exploration with me, you’ll discover new ways to express your feelings and get your needs met, leading to a more manageable life.

Dr. Karen Perez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PsyD, PhD, LPC, LLP
There are good long-term outcomes for people experiencing BPD who engage in a comprehensive treatment plan. Most experience the best results using a combination of psychotherapy, peer and family support and medications (when indicated) to address their symptoms. Psychotherapy is considered the cornerstone for treating BPD because it aims to address the emotional dysregulation associated with the condition. A hallmark of effective treatment is learning to master dysregulation with coping skills, insight and acceptance by utilizing Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Mentalization-based therapy (MBT).

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating Borderline Personality Disorder for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you have received a diagnosis of BPD, then you know that mitigating your varying moods is critical to leading a full and happy life. I am committed to working with my patients so that they can develop a complete understanding of their own patterns and behaviors so that they can learn to anticipate when a shift might be coming, and what they can do to make that shift a little softer. This is a condition that also bears a lot of stigma, and I hope to create a judgement-free space where my patient feels emboldened to express themselves openly and honestly.
