Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel like an emotional rollercoaster, but you don't have to face it alone. At Monarch Counseling, we specialize in providing comprehensive and compassionate therapy for individuals navigating the complexities of BPD. Our dedicated team is here to guide you on a path towards stability, self-discovery, and emotional well-being.
Common Criteria for BPD:
- Chronic feelings of emptiness.
- Emotional instability in reaction to day-to-day events (e.g., intense episodic sadness, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days).
- Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.
- Identity disturbance with markedly or persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
- Impulsive behavior in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).
- Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights).
- A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by extremes between idealization and devaluation (also known as "splitting").
- Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, threats, or self harming behavior.
- Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.
Our Approach
Our approach to BPD therapy is rooted in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques. We believe in addressing both the emotional and cognitive aspects of BPD to provide holistic healing. Our experienced therapists are trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other proven modalities, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment possible. Our services include:
- Individual Therapy: Our one-on-one therapy sessions provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Together with your therapist, you'll work on developing healthier coping mechanisms and strategies to manage emotional triggers.
- DBT Skills Training: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cornerstone of our approach. Our DBT skills training teaches you mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are essential for navigating BPD challenges.
- Group Therapy: Connect with others who understand your journey through our supportive group therapy sessions. Share experiences, learn from peers, and develop valuable interpersonal skills in a nurturing environment.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Many individuals with BPD have experienced trauma. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that your therapy is sensitive and tailored to your unique history and needs.
- Family Support: BPD doesn't just affect individuals; it can impact families as well. Our family therapy sessions provide education and support to help loved ones better understand and navigate the challenges of BPD.
