Borderline Personality Disorder
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Borderline personality disorder often involves intense emotions, painful relationship patterns, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, or feeling unsure of who you are. I have advanced training in DBT, the gold-standard treatment for BPD. Treatment focuses on helping you better understand these patterns, build more effective coping strategies, and create greater stability in your emotions and relationships.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT posits that people are doing the best they can and if they are struggling it is because they did not learn the basic tools and skills they needed from their care takers in childhood. I enjoy teaching people tools and skills to regulate their emotions, be effective in their daily lives, and get their needs met.

Borderline Personality Disorder
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.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
What is often labeled as “borderline” or a "personality disorder" reflects adaptations to early relational environments that were chronically intense and inconsistent, not a defective person. Heightened emotional sensitivity and fears around closeness often develop as ways of staying connected and safe.
In therapy, we focus on understanding how these patterns show up in the present, especially in relationships that matter. Over time, this work supports greater emotional stability, depth, and a more secure sense of self rather than short-term symptom control.
