BPD
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized diagnoses in mental health. Many people who carry this label have been described as “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “hard to treat”—often after years of experiencing invalidation, unstable relationships, or environments that didn’t feel safe or consistent. For some, the diagnosis itself doesn’t fully capture their experience. For others, it finally puts language to patterns that have felt overwhelming and hard to control. At Nour Counseling, we approach BPD with nuance, respect, and a commitment to understanding the full context of your story.
We work actively with you to make sense of the intensity—whether that’s emotional highs and lows, fear of abandonment, relationship patterns, identity shifts, or impulsive behaviors. Together, we build practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more stable ways of relating to yourself and others. We also pay close attention to your history, including trauma, attachment experiences, and cultural context, because these patterns don’t develop in isolation. This is not about labeling you or reducing you to a diagnosis. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, more understood, and more equipped to navigate your emotions and relationships in a way that feels steadier and more aligned.

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.
