BPD
Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
BPD is a disorder that causes great difficulty in emotional regulation and emotional control. There can be extreme mood swings, emotional outbursts, impulsive anger, turbulent relationships and idealization and devaluation. BPD can mimic other disorders, thus it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. There is a belief that it is centered around emotional manipulation, yet that is not the case. There is a very high comorbidity with other issues such as substance abuse or self-harm as well. Suicidality is high among BPD due to the consensus that they see the world in only stark black and white, without the ability to reference and evaluate how things actually are. Therapy can greatly impact BDP symptoms and provide relief from this disorder.

Claire Cooper
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help clients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) navigate intense emotions, relationship challenges, and identity struggles. I do this by creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for growth. Using evidence-based approaches like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and attachment-based therapies, I support clients in building emotional regulation skills, improving relationships, and developing a stronger sense of self. Together, we work toward greater stability, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.

Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

BPD
Dri Edwards
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
I don't actually use this diagnosis. In most cases, the presenting issues are a response to interpersonal traumas that occurred in childhood (developmental trauma). A quality therapeutic alliance and the use of effective coping skills are especially critical for this population. A good fit between therapist and client is important in most therapies but is paramount here. Collaboration is essential.

The emotional ups and downs of life can be overwhelming to an individual and disruptive to the stability of interpersonal relationships.

Online in Houston, TX Texas
Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
