Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder

Our therapists play an integral role in helping individuals who struggle with BPD. Therapy for BPD can support individuals navigating difficulties with interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation, and distressing emotions.  Borderline personality disorder is a highly misunderstood condition in society. Our NYC therapists take a non-pathologizing, person-centered approach when working with clients. When supporting individuals struggling with BPD, our therapists primarily utilize the DBT framework, and relational therapy as these components work beautifully together and promote profound connection, healing and change.

Our therapists intuitively weave in skill-building into weekly psychotherapy sessions, teaching clients how to access innate resilience through skills such as urge surfing, DEAR MAN, and radical acceptance.

Relational Therapy for BPD in NYC:

Our therapists specialize in relational therapy for BPD, which is grounded in the therapeutic relationship as a means for change and connection.
