Janese Leatherbury
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LiCSW
My approach to treating borderline personality disorder is compassionate, structured, and grounded in attachment and skills-based work. I understand BPD as rooted in nervous system sensitivity and relational wounds rather than as a character flaw. Therapy focuses on building safety, consistency, and trust within the therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop tools to manage emotional intensity, impulsivity, and fears of abandonment.
I integrate DBT-informed interventions to strengthen distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, alongside attachment-focused and trauma-informed work to address underlying experiences of invalidation, instability, or loss. We work to increase awareness of triggers, identify patterns in relationships, and challenge black-and-white thinking while cultivating a more integrated and stable sense of self.
Throughout treatment, I emphasize accountability paired with deep empathy. My goal is to help clients move from surviving emotional storms to feeling grounded, connected, and capable of sustaining healthy relationships and self-worth.

Sherry Murray
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you have it: I prefer the term Complex PTSD for this disorder, as studies show most people with Borderline have a history of trauma. If this is you, the good news is this is one of the more treatable diagnoses. and with my speciality in trauma, and complex trauma, I can help educate you in what your body is doing as a result of what was done to you, and this can be changed.
If you have a family member with it: Living with someone with Borderline can be challenging, buy you don't have to do it alone. Counseling can also help you to manage this relationship better and ensure you are not unintentionally doing things to worsen the situation.
