Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I provide a supportive, structured space for individuals experiencing intense emotions, relationship instability, and difficulty regulating feelings. Together, we work to understand emotional patterns, strengthen distress tolerance, and develop healthier, more stable ways of relating to others. I use evidence-based approaches to help you build practical skills for managing emotional overwhelm and improving communication in relationships. The focus is on creating greater emotional stability, deepening self-understanding, and supporting meaningful, lasting change in how you experience and respond to emotions and relationships. If you’re looking for steadier ground and more control over emotional ups and downs, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PhD
I am a psychoanalyst and licensed clinical social worker, with over 15 years of experience and training in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches to talk therapy. In my practice, I work with people across age groups, with families, couples, and children, with the goal of discovering the desires, dreams, needs that lie behind the more difficult aspects of life. I have two New York City based office locations, making it easy to find a place thats right for you. I work on a sliding scale fee basis and with insurance.

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.

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.
