Borderline Personality Disorder
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I support individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) through evidence-based treatments designed to stabilize emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. One of the most effective therapies for BPD is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This helps reduce self-destructive behaviors and enhances overall wellbeing. Additionally, I incorporate Schema Therapy that can help address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior by helping individuals understand and change maladaptive schemas developed from past experiences. By utilizing these evidence-based approaches, I aim to provide a structured and supportive environment where individuals with BPD can work towards greater emotional stability, helathier relationships and improved quality of life.

Dr. Dana C. Avey
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MA, DBH, LMFT, BC-TMH, ADS
Borderline Personality Disorder can be best described as an emotional intensity disorder. You feel more, feel it longer, and to more extreme than those around you. You're often left feeling empty and abandoned and experience instability in your relationships. There are ways to combat this and have healthy, thriving interpersonal relationships. We can work together to achieve this. If you are a loved one of someone diagnosed with BPD or someone you suspect has BPD, I can also be of help.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Borderline Personality Disorder is an illness that makes emotions difficult to manage. One may have difficulty relating to others, coping with stress, reckless behavior, strong feelings of isolation and abandonment, and challenges understanding other people’s points of view. BPD is sometimes also called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) as the name is more descriptive to the actual condition.
BPD commonly presents in adolescence or early adulthood with intense moods, suicidal thoughts, addictive behaviors, inability to maintain jobs and relationships, and paranoid thoughts. Because of the extreme mood swings, BPD is frequently misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder, however, the mood changes with BPD are typically much shorter in overall duration.
Treatment is typically a combination of psychotherapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. There are no medications specifically to treat BPD but there are support groups that can help when struggling to cope with these significant emotions. People living with BPD are able to improve their lives with the help of therapy and other kinds of support.
