Borderline Personality Disorder in Charlotte, NC—Counselors and Therapists

Borderline Personality Disorder can cause people to have unstable relationships, behavior patterns, emotions, and more. However, many people find the help they need to manage the disorder by working with a therapist and going to counseling for Borderline Personality Disorder.

The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Charlotte treat BPD. We understand the toll it can take on an individual’s life, but we have also seen the freedom people can experience with treatment. The therapists at Thriveworks have helped many clients find an effective plan for healing.

Borderline Personality Disorder: What Is It?

According to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), BPD is one of ten different types of personality disorders. These disorders are characterized by maladaptive behaviors. That is, they exhibit behavior and thinking that is destructive to themselves and to others, and these behaviors are present across a wide range of settings and scenarios. Borderline Personality Disorder, in particular, is characterized by instability. People can experience dramatic and often destructive shifts in their emotions, relationships, and identity. BPD often shows its signs and symptoms when people are entering adulthood. Such signs may include….

  • Extreme fear of abandonment and taking extreme measures to avoid real or perceived separation.
  • Belligerent behavior—losing one’s temper, bitterness, use of sarcasm, outbursts of anger, starting fights, and more.
  • A pattern of broken relationships that often begin by idealizing an individual and then swing to perceiving others as cruel and harmful.
  • Easily changing identities—altering one’s goals, values, and perceptions continuously.
  • Oscillating between extreme emotions: happiness and irritability, euphoria and anxiety, and so on.
  • Losing touch with reality for minutes or even hours at a time—experiencing paranoia.
  • Difficulty taking any kind of criticism and rejection.
  • Attempting or threatening to attempt suicide or self-injury (especially as a response to fear, criticism, or rejection).
  • An ever-present and ongoing feeling of emptiness.
  • Acting impulsively and engaging in unnecessary risks like reckless driving, unsafe sex, gambling, drug use, unfettered spending, self-sabotage, binge eating, and more.

DBP can cause many problems for people in and of itself, but it can also leave people at greater risk for other mental health disorders, like self-harm, eating disorders, depression, substance abuse, and addiction.

BPD Treatments

Borderline Personality Disorder can cause substantial harm in an individual’s life, but with treatment, many people are able to mitigate the harm and live a well-adapted life. Skilled therapists often create personalized treatment plans that meet an individual’s needs and circumstances, but those plans often involve Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a form of treatment that teaching coping and healing skills like…

  • Mindfulness: Helping people becoming more aware and observant of what they are feeling and sensing in their bodies and minds. Mindfulness emphasizes observation without judgment.
  • Emotional regulation: These are the skills people need to recognize what they are feeling and respond in an appropriate way.
  • Distress tolerance: Life is full of ups and downs, and distress tolerance helps people cope with its inevitable difficulties.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness: Relationships are important for an individual’s overall well-being, and interpersonal effectiveness teaches people the skills they need to build and maintain many different kinds of healthy relationships.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

I've worked with Mrs. Matson for close to a year now and I can say with certainty that she's a great counselor to go to for help with emotional regulation and understanding, grief management, and processing trauma in healthy and beneficial ways. Her use of meditation techniques to get to the root of my emotions and habits have helped me understand so much about myself and why I operate the way I do. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone just starting out looking for a good counselor, or anyone looking for a friendly empathetic professional who listens well and draws from a wealth of information to provide really quality services.

I have seen Dr. Daniel Stillwell for a year for individual and couples counseling and I trust him immensely. He is a skilled, authentic, and highly competent professional. I’ve also referred him to others and they described the same. Thriveworks staff have been very helpful with insurance and appointments.

Adriana Blanco is wonderful. I never felt any judgement from her during our sessions. She is compassionate, firm and extremely knowledgeable. I could not see myself opening up as much with another counselor, thank you for putting her in my path.
