BPD
Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I use a strengths-based approach when working with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder. Although this diagnosis can be very stigmatized in our culture, I believe that people with this diagnosis often have a lot of positive qualities that can be utilized to cope with intense emotional distress and difficulty with interpersonal relationships. My approach to Borderline Personality Disorder is informed by Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Feminist Therapy.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
