Borderline Personality Disorder
John D. Gartner
Psychologist, Ph.D.
BPD is very treatable, but it's important to see a specialist.
I began my practice after completing a post-doctoral fellowship in Treatment of Borderline Disorder at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, using the methods pioneered Dr. Otto Kernberg. For the last 5 years, I've integrated some aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my practice, especially mindfulness meditation.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
DBT is an evidence-based treatment model originally created to treat Borderline Personality Disorder. Now, research shows DBT can be effective for a wide range of other presentations and symptoms that are rooted in emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy, is a perfect treatment for people who are:
more sensitive to emotions
more reactive to emotions
have a slower return to baseline
If any of these things sound familiar for you or your loved one then DBT is probably the answer!

Borderline Personality Disorder
Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques may be employed to identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies could be integrated to address emotional dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties, emphasizing skills such as distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. My hope is to provide a comprehensive framework for individuals with borderline personality disorder to cultivate self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and foster more stable relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is often considered the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, offering a comprehensive approach that addresses emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and self-destructive behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy can delve into underlying conflicts and attachment issues contributing to the development of borderline personality traits, promoting insight and self-awareness. Additionally, relational therapy focuses on repairing and improving interpersonal relationships, which is crucial for individuals with borderline personality disorder who often struggle with intense and unstable relationships.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my practice, I often integrate aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) manage their emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. Additionally, I utilize elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop mindfulness skills, increase psychological flexibility, and align their actions with their values, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Lastly, incorporating Narrative Therapy techniques, clients explore their life experiences and challenges from a contextual standpoint, empowering them to reconstruct their self-narrative and find new meaning in their journey towards healing and self-discovery.
