Borderline and Personality Disorders
The right diagnosis is crucial in obtaining the appropriate care and treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD). We understand the challenges associated with this commonly misdiagnosed serious mental illness that can lead to self-harm, with approximately 80% of individuals with BPD attempting suicide as a way to regulate emotions and express pain.
Our team is skilled in accurately diagnosing BPD and identifying effective medications that can make a significant difference in managing symptoms. Recognizing that BPD often co-occurs with other serious mental illnesses, we take a comprehensive approach, considering the entirety of the individual’s situation. Our evidence-based treatment programs have been proven to work in the long term, providing lasting relief and support for those with BPD and its associated challenges.
Not Sure if You Need Help?
We are here to find the right care for you.
Living with the symptoms of BPD can be challenging, but with the right treatment plan you can reduce your symptoms and live a happy and stable life. The first step is getting an accurate diagnosis. *This quiz should not be used to replace the recommendations or diagnoses provided by a medical or mental health professional. We encourage you to share your results with a mental healthcare professional who can help you determine the next steps that are right for you.
Mind Therapy Clinic offers one of the most comprehensive and cutting-edge approaches for treating borderline personality disorder (BPD). Our commitment to providing effective care begins with leveraging diagnostic imaging technology, such as EEG, to identify the most suitable course of medication treatment specifically tailored for individuals with BPD.
Our programs go beyond medication alone, as we integrate intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programs into our treatment plans. This holistic approach ensures that individuals with BPD receive the comprehensive support they need to achieve long-term recovery and well-being.

Personalized Treatments
Our team of experienced mental health professionals are specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of BPD. They pull in psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and psychiatric nurses to work together under one roof to provide immediate and continuous support. Interviews, detailed discussions about symptoms, and careful medical examinations accurately detect BPD and inform personalized and integrated treatment strategies that are proven to work in the long term.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy - DBT
DBT has shown to be effective with those suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. Our DBT specialists are available to provide psychotherapy and DBT-oriented group therapies.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy - CBT
Cognitive behavioral therapy is particularly helpful in the treatment of BPD when combined with a focus on understanding thought distortions. CBT therapists are available as individual therapist as well as group facilitators at Mind Therapy Clinic. If this is an appealing mode of therapy, ask us.
Psychotherapy
By working with one of our skilled therapists, individuals diagnosed with BPD can develop valuable skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Psychotherapy also provides a safe space for exploring and understanding the underlying causes of BPD symptoms, facilitating healing and personal growth.
Medication
Medications are helpful in alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety that often accompanies these disorders. The right combination of medication and psychotherapy is the most effective treatment for BPD.
Based on your specific needs and diagnosis, we offer comprehensive and effective programs to help you find relief now and into the future. They include a continuum of care from outpatient to intensive patient, partial hospitalization programming to supportive housing.
