Borderline Personality Disorder
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Helping clients and families identify what they can change and what they can’t change is a major goal in DBT. In therapy, we help loved ones minimize their contributions to the problems (by invalidating) while also helping coach them in how to be real, transparent, and how to set their own limits.
Learning how and when to validate is a huge part of the process.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in borderline personality disorder (BPD), my treatment approach is comprehensive, empathetic, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Utilizing evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), schema therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, I collaborate closely with clients to address emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and identity disturbances characteristic of BPD. Through skill-building exercises, emotion regulation techniques, and exploration of past experiences, we work together to develop coping strategies and promote self-awareness. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing validation and support throughout the healing process. My goal is to empower individuals with BPD to cultivate stability, improve relationships, and lead fulfilling lives.

Borderline Personality Disorder
William Munze
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CPC, NCC
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often means experiencing intense emotions and mood swings, which can make relationships and daily life challenging. People with BPD may have a deep fear of abandonment and struggle with self-image, leading to impulsive behaviors and feelings of emptiness. Despite these difficulties, many individuals with BPD can find stability and fulfillment through therapy and support.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is specifically designed to help individuals with borderline personality disorder by teaching skills in four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through DBT, I help clients balance acceptance and change, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve emotional stability. This structured approach has been shown to significantly decrease symptoms and improve overall functioning in individuals with BPD.
