BPD
Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood and underserved diagnoses in mental health - and one of the most treatable. If you or your teen has been diagnosed with BPD, or if you recognize the patterns of intense emotions, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, and impulsive behavior, you are not beyond help. Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed specifically for BPD and has decades of research supporting its effectiveness. I am intensively trained in DBT and have specific experience working with clients managing BPD across its full range of severity.

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.

BPD
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a very treatable condition. However, it can be misdiagnosed for other disorders, and this can delay treatment gains. Following a thorough evaluation to establish BPD, I use one of three forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapy (i.e., Transference-Focused psychotherapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment, or Supportive Therapy) alone or in combination. All of these therapies have been tested in clinical trials. I have published professional works (e.g., articles; a book) on psychodynamic therapy. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.
