Borderline Personality Disorder is a condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and emotions, along with marked impulsivity. Life can feel like an intense emotional storm, making it difficult to maintain a stable sense of self and connection with others. Specialized therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can be very effective, and our providers are here to offer skilled, compassionate support.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:

• Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.
• A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation.
• Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
• Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).
• Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior.
• Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours).
• Chronic feelings of emptiness.
• Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger.
• Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.
