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.

BPD
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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in borderline personality disorder (BPD), my treatment approach is comprehensive, empathetic, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Utilizing evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), schema therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, I collaborate closely with clients to address emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and identity disturbances characteristic of BPD. Through skill-building exercises, emotion regulation techniques, and exploration of past experiences, we work together to develop coping strategies and promote self-awareness. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing validation and support throughout the healing process. My goal is to empower individuals with BPD to cultivate stability, improve relationships, and lead fulfilling lives.
