First off, thank you for being brave enough to take this first step in this journey! Navigating life at any age often brings challenges that are unpredictable, leaving a need of searching for belonging. I believe you deserve to feel confident in your inherent worth and that you belong—always. In the queer community, therapeutic supports are most important and vital for survival. Intersectionality can be beautiful but also lead to loneliness when there is a lack of similarity of your identity around you. As a queer woman of color and as a therapist, I understand the importance of having a space where you can be your truest self.

I take an eclectic approach when it comes to treating BPD and CPTSD, using a combination of cognitive based interventions (CBT) tying in DBT concepts as well as utilizing trauma based modalities (CPT) and attachment based work.
Hi, I'm Riana. If you've spent most of your life feeling like your emotions are too much or like you're constantly bracing for something to go wrong, you're not broken. You're probably just exhausted from carrying more than most people realize. I work with adults who grew up having to figure things out on their own, often because the people who were supposed to be there for them were unreliable. Maybe your parents or caretaker was unpredictable, dismissive, selfish, or just emotionally unavailable. That kind of upbringing leaves scars not just in your memories but how your nervous system reacts and how you relate to the world.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
