What Is a Borderline Personality Disorder?

At Footprints, our licensed clinicians provide individualized, evidence-based care (including CBT, DBT, and EMDR) for borderline personality disorder in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space, with support available in English, Spanish, and other languages.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition marked by intense emotional swings, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and a shifting sense of self. BPD is highly treatable — with the right therapy, many people experience significant, lasting improvement in how they feel and relate to others.

Common Symptoms of BPD

Intense fear of abandonment, real or imagined
Unstable, intense relationships that shift between idealization and devaluation
Unclear or shifting self-image or sense of identity
Impulsive behavior in areas like spending, driving, or substance use
Rapid mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days

How We Treat BPD

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist to work through patterns, triggers, and personal goals at your own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Used alongside DBT to help identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns.
