Borderline personality disorder is marked by an ongoing pattern of unstable intense relationships, distorted self-image, extreme emotions and impulsiveness.
Psychotherapy has been shown to be effective in helping with BPD. Specifically, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a structured treatment approach that has been specifically developed for BPD. It based on cognitive-behavioural principles with additional emphasis on emotional regulation. DBT aims to replace maladaptive behaviours with healthier coping skills.
We simplify the search for the therapist that is a right fit for you. At no additional cost, one of our Service Managers assists you in finding the help you need. Layla works with a number of DBT-trained therapists experienced in working with clients with BPD.
