New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
If you're experiencing symptoms of borderline personality disorder it's likely that you're feeling disconnected from or completely out of control of your emotions. Your relationships aren't what you'd like them to be and you might feel hopeless that things will change. Perhaps you've tried to cope with all the pain and disappointment by using drugs or alcohol or engaging in self-harm or other dangerous behaviour - this likely worked and gave you temporary relief but eventually the feelings return.
We have extensive experience supporting teens and adults showing signs of BPD. We are trained in evidence based strategies (primarily DBT - or trauma therapies if trauma is also present) to help you regain control of emotions, find stability in your relationships, and learn to tolerate distress. We can also support your family so that they can better support you.
It's possible that you've tried therapy in the past - perhaps it wasn't a good experience. We appreciate that it can be difficult to find a therapist that is a good fit and recognize that this will be a huge predictor of your success in therapy. We invite you to contact us for a free 15-minute consultation so that you can meet with the therapist, ask any questions that you might have, and get a sense of whether they are the right therapist for you.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of BPD on your own. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
We understand Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as deeply rooted in attachment wounds and relational patterns. Our approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential, helping clients regulate intense emotions, navigate relationships, and cultivate self-compassion.
We also view BPD through a feminist lens, acknowledging the societal pressures, gendered expectations, and relational dynamics that often shape emotional experiences. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore triggers, heal relational patterns, and build practical tools for resilience, empowerment, and authentic connection. We offer in-person therapy in Toronto and virtual sessions across Ontario to ensure care is accessible wherever you are. Our goal is to help clients move from emotional overwhelm to grounded self-understanding, healthier relationships, and lasting emotional empowerment.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You are not “too much”—you’ve just carried too much for too long.
If you live with intense emotions, fear of abandonment, or feel like you’re constantly swinging between extremes, you’re not broken—you’re doing your best to survive with a system that’s been deeply overwhelmed. I specialize in working with people who’ve been labeled with BPD and help them understand their internal world with more compassion and clarity. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we gently connect with the parts of you that protect, react, and long for love—so healing can happen at the root. You don’t have to keep living in chaos or self-blame. There is a path toward stability, connection, and a deeper sense of Self.

Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist, Dipl. Psych.
DBT is an evidence-based treatment model created to treat Borderline Personality Disorder. This is because those with BPD tend to be more sensitive to emotions, or more reactive to emotions, have a slower return to baseline. As unique and different you may feel, I can help with this modality for its range.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work with clients who have BPD using a compassionate, consistent, trauma-informed and relational method that combines nervous-system regulation, attachment theory, and practical emotion regulation techniques. We collaboratively examine the underlying needs behind strong emotions and relationship patterns, as well as how self-compassion can reduce shame related to this condition. My aim is to support you in developing inner stability, setting healthier boundaries, a clearer sense of self, and the confidence around the capacity to self-regulate.

Intense emotions, fear of abandonment, relationship instability, and difficulty feeling grounded can be painful and exhausting.

Angela Fawcett
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, RSW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses, yet it is also highly treatable. People living with BPD often experience emotions intensely, making the world feel overwhelming and relationships feel confusing, dysregulating, or even frightening. Beneath these struggles is often a deep longing for connection, stability, and understanding. I draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, self-compassion, and healthier relationship patterns. With the right support, people can learn to regulate emotions, build secure relationships, strengthen their sense of self, and create meaningful, fulfilling lives. Recovery is possible, and many individuals with BPD experience significant healing and lasting change.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel disorienting. If you're struggling with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or self-image issues, therapy can provide the tools to create lasting change. My trauma-informed approach integrates techniques like DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) to help you manage emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild trust in yourself. Together, we can explore the origins of your experiences and work to reshape patterns of behaviour to promote healing and growth.
In our work together, I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely—without fear of criticism or rejection. I believe in the importance of being able to explore your emotions and thoughts openly, while working collaboratively to understand and connect the different parts of yourself. This process is all about building self-trust and fostering a sense of acceptance, so you can feel safe within yourself. Our work together focuses on helping you navigate emotional intensity, strengthening your sense of self, and creating healthier, more balanced relationships.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
