Borderline Personality Disorder
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be a challenging experience. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique approach to understanding the underlying causes of BPD symptoms. I do not see BPD as a pathology; I see people living with BPD as struggling inside with great degrees of pain.
Together we'll explore unconscious patterns and early relational experiences that may contribute to emotional instability, troubled relationships, and distorted self-image. By gaining insight into these dynamics, you can develop stronger coping mechanisms and build a more cohesive sense of self.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I take an Ambivalent Attachment perspective, meaning that my view of BPD is that is a more severe expression of an Ambivalent Attachment style. In sessions, I will maintain a safe and predictable environment, supporting a space for each of us to be in charge of our own stories and emotional states. I'll be gentle in nonverbal and verbal communication, and, will model personal boundaries between and in sessions. We may incorporate EMDR or parts work into a primarily DARE approach of being with the felt-sense of connection, highlighting what feels safe and unsafe, trusting and mistrusting, predicable and chaotic. From a place of safe connection, we'll revisit the wounded parts from your past with nurturing openness and adaptability, while maintaining integrity and authenticity of your Core Self.

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Feeling out of control, yearning for closeness and then rejecting intimacy can lead to lots of unhappiness. Working together, we can begin to see the pattern, how it developed, and how to navigate safety with others, leading to secure relationships.
