Four Wings Psychology - Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder in Nepean

Support for Intense Emotions, Relationship Struggles, and a Deep Desire to Be Understood

If you often feel like your emotions are too big, your relationships are too intense, or your reactions are too much you might be living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or traits of it. But what looks like “instability” on the outside often comes from a place of deep pain, unmet needs, and sensitivity that hasn’t been supported in a safe way.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for BPD in Nepean and virtually across Ontario. Our goal is not to pathologize you but to help you understand your experiences, build skills to manage emotional pain, and create relationships that feel safe and real.

What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?

BPD is a complex mental health condition that affects how you relate to yourself and others. It often develops in response to trauma, invalidation, or emotional neglect particularly early in life.

Common signs of BPD include:

Intense mood swings or emotional overwhelm
Fear of abandonment, even in small conflicts
Trouble trusting others or yourself
Relationship patterns that feel unstable or all-or-nothing
Chronic feelings of emptiness or self-loathing
Impulsive behaviours (e.g., overspending, self-harm, substance use)
Identity confusion or feeling like you don’t know who you are
Difficulty regulating anger, sadness, or shame

These aren’t character flaws: they are understandable responses to a life that may have not felt safe, consistent, or nurturing. Therapy can help you create a different experience.

How Therapy Can Help with BPD

We take a non-judgmental, client-centered approach to BPD. Our goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and more in control of your emotions and relationships.

Therapy may help you:

Learn to regulate intense emotions without suppressing them
Develop healthier coping strategies for distress and unhelpful urges
Build more stable, connected, and honest relationships
Understand your attachment style and relational patterns
Cultivate self-worth and reduce self-criticism
Navigate black-and-white thinking and emotional spirals
Develop a more grounded and stable sense of identity

We draw on evidence-based approaches like:

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – to develop skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness
Schema Therapy – to explore and shift long-standing patterns and beliefs
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy – to support relational healing and self-compassion
Trauma-informed care – to acknowledge the deep roots of emotional pain

Who This Is For

Adults or teens who have been diagnosed with BPD or suspect they may relate to its traits
People who feel very reactive, misunderstood, or emotionally overwhelmed
Individuals recovering from relational trauma or attachment wounds
Clients who’ve been harmed by past therapy experiences and want a more affirming approach

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin therapy. If these struggles resonate with you, we can support you.
