Understanding borderline personality disorder
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that affects how you regulate emotions, see yourself, and navigate relationships. It is not a character flaw. It is a treatable condition that responds well to structured therapy.
Many people with BPD experience intense sensitivity to rejection, difficulty calming down after conflict, and black and white thinking that makes relationships feel unstable. Symptoms can also overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma related symptoms, or substance use.
When it may be time to get support
It may be time to reach out if your emotions feel unmanageable, your relationships are constantly in crisis, or you are coping through impulsive behaviors. If you experience self harm urges, suicidal thoughts, or feel unsafe, getting professional support quickly matters.
What BPD treatment can include
Clear assessment
We take time to understand symptoms, history, triggers, and goals so your plan fits your real life.
DBT focused therapy
DBT helps you build skills for emotional regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.
Supportive structure
Consistent sessions and a steady plan help reduce crises and create stability you can build on.
Medication support
When appropriate, psychiatric care can support mood, sleep, and co occurring symptoms alongside therapy.
How we approach BPD treatment
Our approach is grounded and practical. We focus on what is happening in your day to day life, what sets off emotional surges, and what helps you return to center without shame.
Treatment may include individual therapy, group therapy, DBT skills, CBT strategies, family support when appropriate, and trauma informed care. If depression, anxiety, or substance use are also present, we address the full picture so progress is not fragile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is borderline personality disorder (BPD)?
BPD is a mental health condition that affects emotional regulation, identity, and relationships. People with BPD often feel emotions intensely and may struggle to return to calm after stress, conflict, or rejection.
Is BPD treatable?
Yes. With structured treatment, many people experience major improvement in emotional stability, relationships, and daily functioning. Skills based therapy is especially effective when practiced consistently.
Why is DBT often recommended for BPD?
DBT is designed to help with intense emotions and relationship struggles. It teaches skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which are core needs for many people with BPD.
Do you offer help for self harm urges?
Yes. Self harm urges are often tied to emotional overload or numbness. Treatment helps you identify triggers, build safer coping strategies, and create a plan for difficult moments.
Can medication help with BPD symptoms?
Medication may help with co occurring symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or mood instability. It is typically used alongside therapy, not in place of skills based treatment.
What if I have BPD and trauma or anxiety?
That is common. Many people experience overlapping symptoms. We can address trauma, anxiety, and depression within a unified plan so treatment feels coherent and practical.
Can relationships improve with treatment?
Yes. Treatment focuses on boundaries, communication, and managing emotional reactions during conflict. Over time, many people feel more secure, less reactive, and more capable of building stable connections.
Do you offer inpatient and outpatient options?
Yes. We offer multiple levels of care, including inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient therapy. The right level depends on safety, symptom severity, and your support system.
How long does BPD treatment take?
There is no one timeline. Progress depends on symptom severity, stress level, and consistency with skills practice. The goal is steady improvement and a plan that continues after formal treatment.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Your privacy matters, and care is handled with discretion. If you have questions about confidentiality, we can walk you through the process before you begin.
