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

Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with the unique challenges you face due to your disorder. Psychotherapy for this disorder works well in tandem with psychiatric treatments to manage medications, or other treatments, if applicable.

Jim Stangarone
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified psychodramatist (CP)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex diagnosis that involves a wide range of feelings and emotions that can be very destructive not only to the individual, to for loved ones as well. There is an overall sense of chaos frequently associated with BPD, including a deep sense of helplessness and despair. Our work together focuses on emotional control, self-reflection, and the exploration of your goals in life.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I support individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through evidence-based treatments designed to stabilize emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. One of the most effective therapies for BPD is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This helps reduce self-destructive behaviors and enhances overall wellbeing. Additionally, I incorporate Schema Therapy that can help address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior by helping individuals understand and change maladaptive schemas developed from past experiences. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, I aim to provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with BPD can work towards greater emotional stability, helathier relationships and improved quality of life.

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.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
