Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Toronto, ON

Hi! Thanks for visiting. Maybe it’s like you’re about to drown in overwhelm, and you wish you could catch your breath. Maybe that out-of-control urge exploded again, and you wish you could find that kind of relief without all the mess afterward. Maybe it exploded in one or more of your relationships, and you don’t know what to do, but you feel unspeakably lost or lonely about it. Maybe at times you’ve given up on life being worth living. Maybe other times you do everything you can think of to survive. Or maybe it’s your teen or someone else you love who’s going through things like this, and you need support. I’d love to help.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with anxiety, OCD, and BPD . Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

I have worked primarily with individuals who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and/or experience overwhelming painful emotions and who have learned to cope by self harming, substance use and other types of impulsive behaviours.

Many of the clients I work with are looking for practical help to deal with the present day difficulties that arise as a result of past unresolved issues.

If you're reading this, you've already made one of the bravest steps towards help and life-long change. One of the reasons I started Centred Self Psychotherapy is because I wanted to ensure clients get incredible psychotherapists, who are self-aware, passionate, and skilled. At Centred Self, we believe that psychotherapy is first and foremost about relationship – to be able to delve into even the scariest of topics with someone that you trust. Therefore, we do not believe in a ‘band-aid’ approach, but work to create lasting change that gets to the root of what's going on. We also offer Reduced Cost Therapy with our student clinic.
