Borderline personality disorder counseling in Asheville, NC is the main form of treatment for borderline personality disorder. It teaches individuals skills that enable them to better manage and cope with their symptoms.
Borderline personality disorder counseling at Thriveworks is personalized to each individual. Depending on your unique needs, it can help you learn to manage uncomfortable feelings, reduce impulsivity, and improve relationships (which might otherwise be negatively affected by your condition).
Borderline personality disorder counseling with our Thriveworks Asheville therapists can be conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of borderline personality disorder counseling sessions will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. However, most treatments for borderline personality disorder last for 1-3 years.
We all have different ways of thinking — it’s one of the things that makes us all unique. These thoughts shape how we view the world and relate to the people around us. But for some people, thoughts and emotions can be particularly difficult to control.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental disorder that usually appears during adolescence or early adulthood and can continue into a person’s adult life. People with BPD experience extreme mood swings, unstable relationships, and difficulty controlling their emotional state. Someone with BPD might act impulsively and engage in risky behaviors.
Borderline personality disorder can introduce instability into your life and make it harder to build relationships with others. Thankfully, the disorder can be treated by working with a licensed mental health professional. Therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists from Thriveworks Counseling in Asheville, NC have the skills and training to help people manage their borderline personality disorder. Call us today to schedule your first appointment.
There can be many factors that contribute to borderline personality disorder, including genetics, environmental stressors, trauma, and abuse. And while BPD symptoms can vary from person to person, some common signs include:
Not everyone with borderline personality disorder will experience all of these symptoms. Some people might only feel a few of these symptoms while others may feel just one or two. Symptoms can also range in severity from mild to moderate to severe.
Experienced mental health professionals have the skills and training to diagnose and treat symptoms of BPD. A couple of the most common types of psychotherapy used to help people manage their BPD include:
