Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel overwhelming at times. Intense emotions, unpredictable relationships, and fears of abandonment can leave you feeling misunderstood or out of control. But increased confidence, emotional control and well-being is possible with the right support.
At The Wake Kendall Group, we offer specialized psychotherapy for BPD treatment in the Washington, DC area, grounded in evidence-based approaches and delivered with compassion. Whether you’re navigating BPD yourself or seeking help for someone you love, we’re here to help you build stability, resilience, and healthier relationships.
BPD is a complex mental health condition marked by emotional dysregulation, difficulty managing relationships, impulsive behaviors, and a shaky sense of identity. You may feel things more intensely than others, or swing between extremes of closeness and distance in relationships. It’s not uncommon to feel out of control one moment and numb the next.
The therapy process in our Washington, DC office creates a safe, structured space for you to explore your experiences and learn skills through treatment to manage strong emotions more effectively.
The Wake Kendall Group has been helping individuals with BPD find their life worth living and increase resilience and joy via Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for over 20 years. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been struggling for years, we’ll help you identify your goals and begin the process of meaningful change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of the most effective treatments for borderline personality disorder. DBT focuses on helping individuals respond more effectively to their emotions and involves building skills in four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can help reduce self-destructive behaviors, ease emotional pain, and improve your relationships.
The Wake Kendall Group is one of few practices in the nation to have earned certification from the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, which means we’ve been recognized for providing DBT that meets the highest clinical standards. You work with therapists who are intensively trained and committed to helping you meet your goals.
We also understand that getting help should be as accessible as possible. That’s why we offer both in-person sessions at our office and secure virtual therapy for both the individual and group components of DBT for clients throughout the DC metro area. Whether you’re balancing school, work, or caregiving responsibilities, we’ll help you find a schedule and format that works for you.
BPD doesn’t define who you are. With the right support, you can break free from patterns that no longer serve you and build a life that feels more stable, connected, and fulfilling. At The Wake Kendall Group, we’re here to help you do just that—with expert care and a deep respect for your lived experience.
