Donald Hill
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div., M.Th., RMFT, RP
While I do not support clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), at our clinic, Psychotherapy Collective, we have therapists who are properly positioned to support you. BDP is a complex and often misunderstood condition, characterized by emotional instability, impulsive behaviors, and significant challenges in interpersonal relationships. These emotional fluctuations can leave you feeling in a constant state of dysregulation, affecting your thoughts, moods, and behaviors. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with Ashley Berger or Tanya Beach, two therapists on our team at Psychotherapy Collective who are well positioned to support you. https://www.psychotherapycollective.ca/our-team

BPD
of Salt & Sky Therapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Living with BPD can mean feeling things deeply, loving deeply, and sometimes hurting deeply too. Relationships may feel incredibly important and incredibly difficult at the same time, while emotions can shift faster than you know what to do with them. You deserve therapy where you aren’t reduced to a diagnosis or treated like you’re “too much.” At of Salt & Sky, we’ll meet you with curiosity, respect, and compassion while helping you build steadier ways of navigating emotions, relationships, and the moments that feel overwhelming.

BPD
Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I have specialized in supporting folks with BPD for almost a decade. In fact, I was once diagnosed with BPD and as a result I understand the complexity, intensity, and stigmatization of the borderline experience. While I offer standardized care through DBT, I also have the awareness that a standardized, textbook approach doesn't work for everyone. I view BPD as a set of nervous system reactions that are in response to attachment trauma and/or childhood emotional neglect. Together, we will not only establish effective coping strategies for concerns like fear of abandonment, but will also work to process and heal from the traumas that contribute to feeling triggered and emotionally dysregulated. Recovery IS achievable and I'm happy to support you for the long haul. Many of my clients experience symptom reduction within a year; many no longer meet criteria for BPD or have been re-assessed and properly diagnosed with (C)PTSD and/or a neurodivergent condition.

Thunder Bay is a northwestern Ontario city that functions as the primary urban centre and service hub for a vast region of the Canadian Shield, and it has one of the highest urban Indigenous populations of any Canadian city—both permanent residents and individuals who travel hundreds of miles from remote reserves to access healthcare, education, and services. The city has faced significant challenges with Indigenous youth mental health and suicide, violence, and the mental health impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma from residential schools, and these concerns are central to the local mental health landscape. Lakehead University's Indigenous studies programs contribute to a growing body of decolonized mental health approaches, and regional services work to address significant unmet need. Common therapy concerns include Indigenous trauma and intergenerational residential school effects, geographic isolation, substance use, depression, and the complex grief of a community navigating both the legacy of colonial harm and ongoing racism and marginalization.
