Understanding BPD
Borderline personality disorder affects how a person feels about themselves and others. Emotions can rise fast and hit hard, and relationships can swing between closeness and conflict. It often grows from a mix of temperament and painful early experiences.
BPD is different from bipolar disorder, and a careful assessment helps tell them apart.
Recognizing BPD
These patterns are painful, and they are treatable.
Our Approach
Skills, therapy and psychiatric care, coordinated by one team.
Safety First
Outpatient care works best when everyone is safe.
If someone is in immediate danger, call or text 988 or go to the nearest emergency room. We coordinate higher levels of care when outpatient is not enough.
Levels of Care
Every plan starts with a clinical assessment. Intensity steps down as you stabilize, with the same team the whole way.
Most Individualized
A private plan built around one person, combining therapy, structure and recovery mentoring at the intensity you need.
Full Day Structure
Full days of structured treatment on weekdays, with a chef prepared lunch, while you return home each evening.
Fits Your Week
Groups and individual therapy several days a week, stepping down as you stabilize.
One to One
Private sessions with a master’s-level clinician, on their own or as part of a program.
