Borderline Personality Disorder
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) with a compassionate and integrative strategy that combines psychological expertise with Christian principles. Recognizing the emotional turmoil and interpersonal challenges associated with BPD, I incorporate biblical teachings on love, grace, and forgiveness into therapy sessions. The focus is on building a therapeutic alliance that fosters trust and a sense of security. Evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may be utilized, alongside spiritual practices like prayer and scriptural reflection to address the emotional dysregulation and relational difficulties characteristic of BPD. Encouraging clients to find strength in their faith, I aim to help individuals with BPD develop healthier coping mechanisms, manage intense emotions, and cultivate a deeper understanding of their identity in Christ. Collaboration with other mental health professionals and pastoral support may also be integrated to provide comprehensive care within the framework of Christian values.

Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, LCMHC, CCTP, C-DBT, CYMHS
This is actually my favorite clients to work with and the reason is simple, I feel like I'm more effective with this group than any other. There are multiple treatment processes with a strong evidence base when it comes to BPD, and I'm certified in DBT, which is the most commonly discussed and very helpful in reducing self-injury and suicide. However, when it comes to reducing emotional distress, I also use Mentalization Based Therapy techniques, and many ideas / techniques from the lifetime of research provided by Russell Meares out of Sidney University in Australia.
I should make a special note about teenagers though, as there's a significant cross-over between BPD and normal teenage behavior, the real difference isn't the experience or behavior it's the level of severity. This is one reason we don't diagnose personality disorders prior to adulthood. Working with teens who have BPD traits often requires good coordination between parents and therapist.

Borderline Personality Disorder
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating Borderline Personality Disorder for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.

Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Personality disorders often stem from a traumatic event or series of traumatic events, where the individual has learned to adapt to survive. Finding the core of these behaviors, will help to address some of the maladaptive behaviors, and learn to move forward in a healthy way. Let's improve on those interpersonal relationship skills!
