Anxiety & Depression
Welcome to our therapeutic space, where understanding and managing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is our focus.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with BPD for a while, this journey is about gaining insights, developing coping strategies, and fostering a life of stability and fulfillment.

What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but it becomes a disorder when it is excessive and interferes with daily life. Symptoms can include persistent worry, restlessness, fatigue, and physical symptoms such as increased heart rate.
Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities. It can also include changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, and concentration.

Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment
Establishing a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space is the foundation of our work together. Your comfort and trust are essential.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a highly effective approach for both anxiety and depression. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors, and developing healthier ways of thinking and coping.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR combines mindfulness meditation and yoga to help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. It encourages present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
IPT focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning, which can be particularly helpful for those whose anxiety or depression is linked to relationship issues.
Behavioral Activation
This approach involves engaging in meaningful and enjoyable activities to combat the inactivity and withdrawal often associated with depression, helping to improve mood and motivation.
Relaxation Techniques and Stress Management
Learning relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery can help manage symptoms of anxiety and promote a sense of calm.
