BPD
Michael Andrew Brennan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If emotions feel intense, relationships feel unstable, or you struggle with fear of abandonment, therapy can help. My approach is relational, steady, and non-shaming, with a focus on understanding patterns and building more emotional flexibility over time. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

BPD
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.

BPD
Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I use a strengths-based approach when working with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder. Although this diagnosis can be very stigmatized in our culture, I believe that people with this diagnosis often have a lot of positive qualities that can be utilized to cope with intense emotional distress and difficulty with interpersonal relationships. My approach to Borderline Personality Disorder is informed by Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Feminist Therapy.

BPD
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.
6 Years Experience
Online in Reno, NV Nevada
Reno's rapid growth — driven by a wave of tech and logistics companies relocating from California, anchored by facilities from Tesla, Apple, and Amazon — has transformed a gambling-and-entertainment city into a more economically diverse metro, and its therapy community is evolving to serve both the long-established casino workforce and a growing population of tech transplants. The city's proximity to the Sierra Nevada and outdoor recreation culture attracts a younger, health-conscious demographic who are generally comfortable seeking therapy, while the older gaming-industry workforce may carry greater stigma around help-seeking. Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Reno's significant homeless population and substance use challenges mean therapists specializing in co-occurring disorders serve an especially important community role.
