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.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel overwhelming, with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-doubt. I work with clients to better understand their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve interpersonal skills. Using evidence-based approaches such as DBT and behavioral techniques, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, and work toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.

Dr. Dana C. Avey
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MA, DBH, LMFT, BC-TMH, ADS, CRYT
Borderline Personality Disorder can be best described as an emotional intensity disorder. You feel more, feel it longer, and to more extreme than those around you. You're often left feeling empty and abandoned and experience instability in your relationships. There are ways to combat this and have healthy, thriving interpersonal relationships. We can work together to achieve this. If you are a loved one of someone diagnosed with BPD or someone you suspect has BPD, I can also be of help.
