BPD
Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC (CCTP, CYMHS, C-DBT, C-PD)
This is actually my favorite clients to work with and the reason is simple, I feel like I'm more effective with this group than any other. There are multiple treatment processes with a strong evidence base when it comes to BPD, and I'm certified in DBT, which is the most commonly discussed and very helpful in reducing self-injury and suicide. However, when it comes to reducing emotional distress, I also use Mentalization Based Therapy techniques, and many ideas / techniques from the lifetime of research provided by Russell Meares out of Sidney University in Australia.
I should make a special note about teenagers though, as there's a significant cross-over between BPD and normal teenage behavior, the real difference isn't the experience or behavior it's the level of severity. This is one reason we don't diagnose personality disorders prior to adulthood. Working with teens who have BPD traits often requires good coordination between parents and therapist.

BPD
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you have received a diagnosis of BPD, then you know that mitigating your varying moods is critical to leading a full and happy life. I am committed to working with my patients so that they can develop a complete understanding of their own patterns and behaviors so that they can learn to anticipate when a shift might be coming, and what they can do to make that shift a little softer. This is a condition that also bears a lot of stigma, and I hope to create a judgement-free space where my patient feels emboldened to express themselves openly and honestly.
