Borderline Personality Disorder therapists in Amherst, New York NY
Rebecca, Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Receiving a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder can be a frightening and confusing experience. If you have received this diagnosis please "give yourself a break". Healing and growth are possible, and the fact that you are reading this blurb suggests that you have all you need to begin a process of recovery.
Often people who have received this diagnosis experienced a great deal of trauma, and neglect in their childhood. The patterns of thought and behavior you developed were likely necessary for your survival into adulthood. Unfortunately, these same skills may now be leaving you feeling isolated, alienated and alone.
I believe that first a foremost it is important for us to develop a therapeutic relationship based on honesty and compassion. Additionally, I am informed by Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Dialectic Behavior Therapy.

I studied with Dr. Otto Kernberg and Dr. Marsha Linehan at Cornell as a Psychology. Fellow. Patient safety is always my top concern given that this is a high risk population. I like to refer these people to DBT Skills Management training and help with chronic feelings of emptiness, self-harming behaviors and mood dysregulation.

If you've had a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder or suspect you have it, it can feel like a stigma. But it is possible to work toward having a productive, satisfying life while living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with the unique challenges you face due to your disorder. Psychotherapy for this disorder works well in tandem with psychiatric treatments to manage medications, or other treatments, if applicable.
