Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Borderline Personality Disorder often reflects deep attachment wounds and intense fears of abandonment. My approach combines IFS, attachment and family systems work, and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and relationship repair. I also integrate psychodynamic and narrative therapies to uncover the stories beneath shame and reactivity. When needed, I work closely with prescribers to manage co-occurring symptoms, and I provide careful diagnostic clarification to distinguish BPD from trauma or bipolar presentations.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating Borderline Personality Disorder for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.
