Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is under-diagnosed disorder within the male population; men are more apt to be diagnosed with Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Unfortunately, a BPD diagnosis has been far more common for women than men. The individual and group counseling services we provide help men identify the source of their struggles as well as learn self-awareness and self-acceptance to create a quality life.
This group, for adult men, is effective for adults who find it difficult to manage emotions, experience intense pain or anger, struggle to maintain relationships, fear rejection and abandonment, self injure, suicidal thoughts, feeling empty and self loathing.
Through individual therapy, skills groups and coaching, our DBT program helps participants learn to become more mindful of their feelings, thoughts and behaviors; regulate their emotions and become more resilient; manage distress and increase impulse control; improve relationships and self-respect; and balance acceptance and change.
