Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment in South Dakota, North Dakota & Iowa
BPD can make emotions feel enormous and relationships feel fragile. With the right support, that can change. Our team offers evidence-based BPD care, in person or by secure telehealth.
Understanding BPD
Steadier emotions are possible
Borderline personality disorder involves intense, fast-changing emotions, a deep fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and an unsteady sense of who you are. It can be exhausting, and it is often misunderstood. It is also very treatable.
At MWI Health, care centers on evidence-based talk therapy that builds skills for managing emotions and relationships, with medication management when it helps with related symptoms like anxiety or depression.
Our providers serve South Dakota, North Dakota, and Iowa, so you can start close to home or by telehealth. No referral is required, and most people are seen without a long wait.
Signs & symptoms
What BPD can look like
