BPD
Rebecca Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Borderline personality disorder is often misunderstood — by clinicians, by loved ones, and sometimes by the people living with it. What looks like instability from the outside is frequently a nervous system that learned to respond to an unpredictable world. In Manhattan, I work with adults navigating BPD using IFS and EMDR, approaches that address the emotional dysregulation at its roots rather than simply managing it at the surface.

BPD
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.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder often experience intense emotional pain, unstable relationships, and a fragmented sense of self, rooted in early attachment disruptions and relational trauma. Psychodynamic therapy offers a space to explore these underlying patterns, fostering greater emotional insight and self-regulation. Through a consistent therapeutic relationship, you can begin to develop trust, integrate conflicting parts of the self, and form healthier ways of relating to others

Chris has worked with many clients with borderline personality disorder and helps provide coping skills to understand the issues. Often clients with BPD can feel intense rage or abandonment where there emotions are difficult to process. Individuals can be valid for their feelings and perceptions but it is important to communicate them in a calm way.
