Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in 22101

I see adults who have historically experienced unstable relationships and find themselves in uncomfortable relationship dynamics. I work with clients to provide information about trauma responses and replace self-sabotaging behaviors with adaptive coping strategies. My skillset is in working with people who have symptoms of personality disorders and those who have had difficulty safely expressing their emotions in the past. When people gain insight into their emotions and behaviors, positive changes occur.

I specialize working with eating disorders, anger/impulse control issues, OCD, victims of narcissistic parent(s), borderline personality, instigators of domestic violence, fear of commitment and/or abandonment. My therapeutic approach is designed to help individuals who are struggling to navigate circumstances with their lives as well as barriers they are struggling to remove. I work to guide my clients through exploration of their behavior patterns to lead healthier lives. I work to challenge old assumptions of themselves while still encouraging my clients to accept themselves.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (www.cbtmindful.com); I am licensed in both PA and NY. Tending to our mental health is an incredibly important part of taking care of our overall health. In therapy, I engage with clients to work toward meaningful behavior change by developing an individually tailored evidence-based approach that incorporates aspects of both mindfulness and acceptance. I also work with clients to gain a better understanding of their values and whether their current behaviors are aligned with those values.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist that has been in private practice for over 20 years. My area of focus is working with those struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting, mood disorders, life transitions, post traumatic stress disorder, and eating disorders.

I offer a safe and welcoming environment, which I believe can happen as authentically online as in person. I help create a space where you can reflect on what brought you into therapy and develop a vision of hope for your future. I have worked in a variety of practice settings for over 20 years which enables me to tailor your specific treatment to the level of care you need. Ultimately, my goal is to help you develop a deeper sense of self-understanding and a greater capacity for self-compassion. By understanding the root causes of your challenges, we can work together to cultivate lasting change and growth.

Emotional/behavioral problems are a part of life and can affect any human being regardless of age, race, social status. There is no shame in seeking help when one is vulnerable as you would if you were suffering from any other illness. Life brings tremendous challenges to all of us and it takes strength to confront them and improve the quality of our life. We can't change our past but we can change our relationship to it. I am partnered up with a physician board certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine to provide comprehensive treatment if medication is needed.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad, worried, stressed out, or stuck? Are you struggling with life’s challenges or your relationships? I believe that therapy in a safe, accepting, and compassionate space allows for the self-understanding necessary for growth and healing. I work with adults and young adults (18+) to explore feelings and gain a better self-understanding, specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, race and multicultural issues, and grief and loss. I believe that therapy is most helpful in a nonjudgmental and empathic setting where you can feel comfortable as you explore your thoughts and feelings.

My treatment approach combines the latest advances in Western neuroscience with evidence-based mindfulness practices rooted in Eastern philosophies. I primarily utilize two complementary modalities - Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These are evidenced based and trauma-informed treatments that aim to address the root causes of psychological suffering rather than simply addressing the outlying symptoms.

I work with individuals, families and couples to improve their life situation and address the problems they are facing in a positive and compassionate manner. I also am fairly direct and get to the heart of the matter quickly, not only addressing the problem, but the factors and processes that contribute to it, therefore making long standing changes. My goal is to help the client develop the tools necessary to address their own problems and live a happier, more fulfilling life.
