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 don’t want to feel so ruled by their intense emotions or out-of-control-feeling relationship with food. 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 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.

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.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice for nearly 20 years who provides individual therapy to adults in NYC and Brooklyn. My expertise is in treating depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I have experience working with individuals on a wide range of issues such as self-esteem and relationship building, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and suicidality. Recently, I have developed a passion for working with women transitioning to motherhood as well as postpartum depression and anxiety.

We offer virtual group therapy for people experiencing a range of mental health conditions, including Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, Grief, and Substance Abuse.

Welcome! For over 13 years, I have supported adults with a variety of mental health challenges, including borderline personality disorder, addiction, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and emotional dysregulation. I am passionate about helping clients like you experience both symptom relief and true healing through therapy tailored to your unique needs. Using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing® (SE), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we work together to develop strategies to deal with distressing situations, improve your interpersonal relationships, and find presence in your everyday life.

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.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice on the Upper West Side. I completed my Ph.D. at Fordham University, and my pre-doctoral internship at the Yale University School of Medicine. I specialize in providing treatments that have been supported by research including cognitive behavioral therapy for mood and anxiety disorders, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion dysregulation/ borderline personality disorder, and relapse prevention/motivational interviewing for substance abuse. In addition to my private practice, I work as a supervising psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

We offer virtual group therapy for people experiencing a range of mental health conditions, including Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, Grief, and Substance Abuse.

Celebration of our authentic selves can create a space for healing. Acting in line with our values can build a platform of self-love. Setting and achieving our goals can instill a sense of agency and purpose in our lives. I aim to serve as a support for empowerment through self-discovery, self-acceptance, skill-building and becoming your best. We will collaborate in the pursuit of your self-defined therapy goals and do so with an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens.

People often come to therapy feeling a need to fix or change some troubling aspect of themselves. What can be surprising, however, is that the therapeutic process may begin as a journey of self-acceptance rather than fixing or changing. Most of us have not been fortunate enough to have people in our lives who can listen without judgement or agenda. That is my job as your therapist. By truly listening, I will learn what the world looks like through your eyes and this understanding of your inner world will help me guide you through the challenging journey of self-acceptance as the gateway to personal transformation.

Once you have made 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 helped people make positive and meaningful changes in their lives by assisting them to work through feelings and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Thus, assisting clients to create and maintain the life they desire. My areas of interest and expertise include, but are not limited to, mood and anxiety disorders and borderline personality disorder.

Everyone who comes through my office door has one thing in common: the wish to suffer less and enjoy life more. I can help you achieve your life goals and dreams. I see my job as listening to you carefully, patiently, and through the lens of my professional expertise, in order to identify the hidden obstacles to your greater wellbeing. Together, in an atmosphere of nonjudgmental, accepting, respectful communication, we will interrupt dysfunctional patterns and build on your strengths. The results of a successful treatment will be that you no longer feel "stuck"; instead, you will feel like life offers you more possibilities.

Finding the right psychotherapist is challenging and can be a lengthy process. Once the search is completed, and the therapy is under way, it will become rewarding and healing. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful, accepting and supportive. Trained in individual, couple, and family therapy, complex trauma, as well as clinical medicine and public health epidemiology, I provide treatment from an individualized integrative perspective, based on what is most beneficial to each person. My cultural and crosscultural perspectives allow me to also factor in the cultural impact on human behavior.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups. I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), but my approach is varied and client driven. I customize a combination of a deep exploration of the past with a pragmatic skills-based way to move forward. My clients receive therapy that feels authentic, safe, warm and conducive to profound growth. I treat a wide range of issues and disorders including ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. I also specialize in couples work, including post infidelity reconciliation. I also do Ketamine Assisted Therapy.

I use a collaborative model, where sessions feel like two people having a conversation in my living room, versus a stereotypical doctor/patient interaction. I don't view your issues as coming from an abnormal psychopathology, but instead as a reaction to living in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. I seek to understand your issues in the context of your unique experience rather than viewing you as having something wrong or being broken. My focus is on what you need from me....I take my lead from you.

I typically work with adults and adolescents whose lives feel chaotic and out of control with unrelenting misery and emotional suffering. My practice is dedicated to equipping these individuals with the tools needed to accept emotional pain, eliminate harmful ways of coping, and build lives that reward them with purpose and meaning. My approach is open, direct, and compassionate. I speak and interact with clients as my authentic self in a therapeutic relationship.
