Hailey's area of specialty is BPD. BPD is a misunderstood diagnosis wherein many impacted have experienced lives of invalidation from their environment, which often includes the people trying to support them. Hailey has helped clients with BPD gain control of their diagnosis and learn to hone their emotional vulnerabilities as strengths. Hailey uses DBT strategies to assist BPD clients in gaining mastery of challenges posed by their diagnosis including: Difficulty maintaining concentration, dissociation; difficulty tolerance distress and accepting reality; difficulty labelling and managing challenging emotions; difficulty achieving and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships; and difficulties with ineffective ways of coping with dysregulation (addiction, self harm, eating issues, relationship conflict, avoidance, etc.)

Mental health labels can be incredibly helpful because they point to a helpful path for the people suffering. BPD is another label. From my experience working with people with this diagnosis for the past several years, I've seen a strong link between BPD and Trauma. Often times, BPD symptoms serve as coping mechanism. Despite the challenges you may have faced with symptoms of BPD, it kept you alive, and enabled you to take this courageous step today! This is an achievement. The first of many to come, with your committment!

The primary model that I use with individuals with BPD symptoms is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Marsha Linehan has designed this model specifically for this diagnosis. In DBT, rather than solely challenging thoughts, which is typical in the cognitive behavioural model, I incorporate mindfulness skills to help you gain awareness of what bodily responses you experience when responding to dysfunctional thoughts and emotions. I also help you learn how to express your needs without letting emotions take over. In order to regulate emotions, I offer a variety of strategies and provide psychoeducation on assertiveness skills and interpersonal effectiveness.
