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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Borderline personality disorder can involve intense emotions, shifting moods, and challenges in relationships that can feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of. In our work together, we focus on creating a steady, nonjudgmental space where these experiences can be explored with care and curiosity. Over time, we’ll work toward understanding the underlying patterns, strengthening your ability to manage emotional intensity, and building more stable, fulfilling connections with yourself and others.

Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
Hailey's area of specialty is BPD. BPD is a misunderstood diagnosis wherein many impacted have experienced lives of invalidation from their environment, which often includes the people trying to support them. Hailey has helped clients with BPD gain control of their diagnosis and learn to hone their emotional vulnerabilities as strengths. Hailey uses DBT strategies to assist BPD clients in gaining mastery of challenges posed by their diagnosis including: Difficulty maintaining concentration, dissociation; difficulty tolerance distress and accepting reality; difficulty labelling and managing challenging emotions; difficulty achieving and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships; and difficulties with ineffective ways of coping with dysregulation (addiction, self harm, eating issues, relationship conflict, avoidance, etc.)

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
