Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in New York, NY

When my clients first come to me, their lives feel chaotic and out of control. No matter what they do, they can’t seem to break free from recurrent depression, major ups and downs in their mood, and significant difficulties in their relationships. All they want is to feel more peace within themselves and in the relationships that matter to them the most. They want to be able to live life on their terms, and yet, this keeps on eluding them, even though they might be really accomplished in other areas of their life, like work.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist who's been in private practice for over15 years. My basic training is psychodynamic in nature, though I've worked extensively as a Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT), and it's informed my practice of therapy enormously. Originally developed to treat patients with 'Borderline Personality Disorder,' DBT is also immensely helpful to those suffering a wide range of emotional disturbances, including depression, anxiety, anger management problems, eating disorders, difficulties with close relationships, and difficulties in the work place. It's a treatment where the therapist is interactive and "real", and the treatment process is de-mystified.

I work very well with adolescents and adults whom struggle to believe that therapy could be beneficial for them. Through my experience, I learned that utilizing psychodynamic theory with the individual during the first several months of therapy aids in building a strong therapeutic relationship. Thus, my initial goal is to help the individual understand how their experiences in life - both positive and negative - contributed to shaping their behaviors, thought patterns, interests, etc. This will help the individual to identify unconscious stressors and improve their emotional response.

I take an eclectic approach to therapeutic modalities, incorporating psychodynamic and relational approaches with specific CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills. I believe that exploring our past experiences and the ways we carry patterns of relating to people throughout our lives is the bedrock of therapeutic change, but that at times, it is important to focus on here and now skills in order to deal with acute crises.

I am an experienced psychotherapist my areas of interest include BPD, CPTSD as well as anxiety and mood disorders. I would like to help you to begin your healing journey no matter how severe you feel your condition to be. My primary goals are to alleviate suffering, to improve insight and understanding and to have my patients regain a sense of agency over their lives.

Alaina is a Manhattan-based mental health counselor with a wide range of experience with different populations and diagnoses. She works with adolescents, and adults in both addiction and traditional mental health. Alaina also works with couples as well.

My therapeutic approach centers around compassion and empathy for my clients. I feel everyone deserves a place where they may explore, process, and question their ideas, emotions, and life challenges without fear of being judged. We will work together to empower you to overcome challenges, build resilience, and experience personal growth in a holistic way, by integrating evidence-based therapies with customized interventions based on your needs. I draw from DBT, ACT, mindfulness, psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems, and multicultural competencies to help clients explore their struggles.

There are times in life when there doesn't seem like a way out of emotional pain. Our life histories, traumas, losses, and disappointments can run so deep that you think the only solution is to give up and stay where you are because change seems frightening. I'm confident I’m able to help you have a more joyful life, better relationships, and to create a more optimistic and exciting vision for your future. You can learn the most effective tools and recognize your strengths focusing on yourself in the now. I can teach you how to treat yourself with patience and compassion, while making a real decision to change.

Once you make the decision to seek therapy, the next step is to find the "best fit" therapist for you. My goal as a clinical psychologist is to assist each client on his/her journey to personal success. I've contributed to positive and meaningful changes in my clients lives by guiding them through feelings and alter unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Thus, assisting clients to create and maintain the life they desire.
