Borderline Personality Disorder
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in supporting individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), recognizing the unique challenges that come with emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, and a fluctuating self-image. My approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and evidence-based practices.
In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to explore the patterns and triggers that contribute to your experiences. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a highly effective treatment for BPD, we will focus on building essential skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help you manage intense emotions and improve your relationships with others.
I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to address negative thought patterns that may exacerbate feelings of emptiness and self-doubt. Together, we will challenge these thoughts and work towards developing a more stable and positive self-image.
A key aspect of my therapy is psychoeducation. By understanding BPD and its impact on your life, you can gain valuable insights that empower you to take control of your healing process. We will also focus on creating a personalized self-care plan to enhance your emotional well-being and promote a sense of stability.
My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and foster meaningful connections. Together, we can work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I use a strengths-based approach when working with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder. Although this diagnosis can be very stigmatized in our culture, I believe that people with this diagnosis often have a lot of positive qualities that can be utilized to cope with intense emotional distress and difficulty with interpersonal relationships. My approach to Borderline Personality Disorder is informed by Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Feminist Therapy.

Cameron Staley
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Individuals with borderline traits are often misunderstood and do not often receive the types of care and support they need. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an effective way to develop skills to better navigate the challenges associated with emotion regulation difficulties and interpersonal concerns.

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.
