    What Borderline Personality Disorder Feels Like

    BPD is a treatable mental health condition marked by intense, fast-shifting emotions; a deep fear of abandonment; relationships that swing between closeness and conflict; an unstable sense of who you are; and impulsive decisions you later regret. Many people with BPD also live with depression or anxiety, which can make it hard to know where one ends and the other begins.

    If that sounds familiar, you're not broken and you're not alone — an estimated 1.4% of U.S. adults live with BPD, and modern treatment helps most people build steadier emotions and stronger relationships. The first step is a proper psychiatric evaluation so you get an accurate diagnosis instead of years of guessing.

    How We Treat BPD

    Therapy is the core of BPD treatment — and having psychiatry on the same team means co-occurring symptoms get treated too, without juggling separate practices

    DBT-Informed Therapy

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the gold-standard for BPD: concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationships. Explore DBT therapy.

    Psychiatric Evaluation

    A thorough clinical interview to confirm the diagnosis and untangle BPD from bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and other conditions it's often confused with.

    Medication for Co-Occurring Symptoms

    No pill cures BPD, but SSRIs, SNRIs, or mood stabilizers can ease co-occurring depression, anxiety, or mood instability — prescribed conservatively and coordinated with your therapy.

    Individual Therapy

    Ongoing one-on-one work with a licensed therapist who understands BPD — see our Orlando therapists.

    Relationship & Family Support

    BPD affects the people who love you too. Couples counseling and family sessions help rebuild trust and communication.

    Telehealth Across Florida

    Consistency is everything in BPD treatment. Secure video sessions keep your care on track wherever you are in Florida.

    BPD Treatment FAQs

    How is borderline personality disorder treated?

    The most effective treatment for BPD is structured psychotherapy — especially Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Many people also benefit from psychiatric care for co-occurring depression or anxiety. Our Orlando-area team provides both therapy and psychiatry under one roof.

    Is there medication for BPD?

    No medication is FDA-approved specifically for BPD — therapy is the core treatment. However, a psychiatrist can treat co-occurring symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or mood instability with options like SSRIs, SNRIs, or mood stabilizers when clinically appropriate. Our providers coordinate medication decisions with your therapy plan.

    How do I know if I have BPD?

    BPD is diagnosed through a clinical psychiatric evaluation — not an online quiz. Common experiences include intense and rapidly shifting emotions, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, an unstable sense of self, and impulsive behavior. If several of these feel familiar, an evaluation with a licensed clinician can give you a clear answer and a plan.

    Do you offer DBT in Orlando?

    Yes. Our therapists provide DBT-informed individual therapy — skills training in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness — at our Winter Park office serving the greater Orlando area, and by telehealth across Florida.

    Do you accept insurance for BPD treatment?

    Yes. We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and UMR. We do not accept Medicaid or Sunshine Health. Self-pay options are available.

    How quickly can I be seen?

    Most new patients are seen within the same week, in person at our Winter Park office or by secure telehealth anywhere in Florida. If you are in crisis right now, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) for immediate support.
