BPD & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Therapy That Actually Helps

Borderline personality disorder and narcissistic abuse leave real marks on how you see yourself, how you love, and how you trust. You deserve support from a therapist who understands how complex that can feel. At Brick Street Counseling, we use evidence-based approaches like DBT to help you understand your patterns, rebuild your sense of self, and move forward with more clarity and stability.

This Is Who I Work With and Help

Diagnosed With BPD 

Your emotions feel intense, fast, and sometimes overwhelming. Therapy helps you build stability and learn how to manage those experiences in a way that feels more in your control.

Recovering From Narcissistic Abuse 

You’re left with confusion, self-doubt, and emotional fallout from a toxic relationship. Therapy helps you process what happened and rebuild your sense of reality and self-worth.

Stuck in Painful Relationship Cycles 

The same patterns keep repeating, even when you try to change them. Therapy helps you understand why, and how to finally break those cycles.

Living With Emotional Dysregulation 

Your emotional responses feel unpredictable or hard to control. DBT-based therapy gives you practical tools to regulate and respond more intentionally.

Understanding Personality Patterns

Personality disorders are not character flaws; they are deeply ingrained patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that developed over time. These patterns can affect how you see yourself, how you manage emotions, and how you connect with others. Borderline personality disorder often impacts emotional regulation, relationships, and identity. Narcissistic personality dynamics, especially when experienced in relationships, can leave lasting emotional harm. The important part: these patterns are treatable. With the right support, you can change how they show up in your life.

Signs You May Be Struggling

These patterns don’t look the same for everyone, but there are some common experiences that stand out. You might notice intense emotional swings, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, chronic emptiness, or a shifting sense of identity. When these patterns are present, they can feel overwhelming and difficult to control. Recognizing them is an important first step, and therapy helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface so you can begin to change it.

What to Expect in the Beginning

Your first sessions aren’t about having the right answers, they’re about getting honest. We take time to understand your history, your patterns, and what’s been making things feel so difficult. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. Whether you’re navigating BPD or recovering from narcissistic abuse, therapy meets you where you are and builds from there. Together, we create a clear plan so you know what you’re working toward and why.

Not every therapist specializes in personality-related patterns, and that difference matters. At Brick Street Counseling, this work is a core focus.
Our therapists use DBT-informed approaches and targeted strategies for BPD and narcissistic abuse recovery, creating treatment plans that are tailored, not generic.
