Borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be a challenging condition to manage, especially for couples. The intense emotions, impulsivity, and fear of abandonment can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings that strain relationships. If you or your partner are dealing with BPD, couples therapy can be an effective way to improve communication, build trust, and develop coping skills.
At Nao Medical, we understand the unique needs of couples dealing with BPD. Our mental health services include experienced therapists and psychologists who specialize in BPD and other personality disorders. We offer same-day appointments, minimal wait times, and a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to care.
How Couples Therapy Can Help with BPD
Couples therapy for BPD focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict, and developing coping skills. Some of the benefits of couples therapy for BPD include:
- Learning to express emotions in a healthy way
- Reducing impulsivity and self-destructive behaviors
- Building trust and intimacy
- Developing problem-solving skills
- Improving self-esteem and self-worth
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help couples manage BPD symptoms and improve their relationship. We also offer virtual care options for couples who prefer to receive therapy from the comfort of their own home.

How long does couples therapy for BPD last?
The length of therapy depends on the severity of your symptoms and your progress. Some couples may see improvement in a few sessions, while others may need several months of therapy.
What if my partner doesn’t want to attend therapy?
