Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is often the treatment of choice. DBT helps individuals learn skills to manage intense emotions, regulate mood, improve interpersonal relationships, and increase distress tolerance. Therapy may also focus on exploring past experiences and underlying beliefs contributing to BPD symptoms, while promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance
Many of our therapists are trained to provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which is considered the treatment of choice for Borderline Personality Disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder involves a pattern of intense emotional and behavioral reactions to perceived abandonment. Therapy can teach emotional regulation and tolerance as well as new patterns to thinking and behaving.
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.
