Many people diagnosed with BPD are told there is no cure, which can leave them feeling hopeless, or believing that difficulty regulating emotions is a personal or moral failure. Neither is true. The right therapeutic support can help you rebuild a sense of agency and control in your own life.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is often a strong starting point, offering practical skills for emotional regulation and navigating relationships. Other approaches can complement this work, supporting different aspects of your mental health along the way.

If you live with BPD and are looking for support, our therapist Marcela specializes in working with people with Borderline Personality Disorder.

What would it mean if your body truly never meant you any harm? Not through the illness, the weight changes, the pain, the injury, the aging, any of it. What if your body has always been on your side, a presence that has stayed with you and for you, even in the moments it felt otherwise? It’s okay if these ideas feel untrue or awkward for now, it’s important to simply start asking these questions.

Our therapists, Cara and Sarrah, work with people navigating body image and their broader relationship with their body. If you need a safe space to explore these questions, or you’re not sure where to even begin, book a free consultation with either of them.

📕 Inspired by the book “Your Body Never Meant You Any Harm” by Ann Saffi Biasetti.

Our cancellation policy is different from the norm.

Most practices charge the full session fee if you cancel within 24 or 48 hours. But the reality is that anxiety, depression, chronic pain, a kid home sick, a body that just says no today: none of these run on 48 hours’ notice. We also recognize how expensive therapy can be especially when insurance providers don’t cover cancellation fees.

So here’s how we do it: If you cancel more than an hour before your session, there’s no charge. If you no-show entirely, we bill 50%, because your therapist held that time for you.

We feel this small policy says a lot about what our practice believes. We hope that it’s comforting and reassuring to you.

“Lazy” is one of the harshest words we use on ourselves, and it’s almost never accurate.

When you look closer, procrastination usually has a job. It might be protecting you from a task that feels too big, from being judged, or from finding out the result isn’t perfect. Avoiding the thing is the nervous system’s way of saying “this doesn’t feel safe yet.”

That doesn’t mean the avoidance is helping. But it does mean you’re not broken or unmotivated. Something in you is working hard, just in a direction that isn’t serving you anymore.

Next time you catch yourself putting something off, try swapping “what’s wrong with me?” for “what am I protecting myself from?” The second question might help you get to the root of it.

At Branches, we are in the process of naming and making our commitments to queer-affirming mental health care. Q***r and trans people deserve to feel safe when accessing mental health care and we want to make clear how our therapy space is seeking to do that.

We will be posting these commitments on our website in the next month or so. If you have recommendations or feedback we would love to hear from you!

Most of us have a complicated relationship with our bodies. For a lot of people, it’s been adversarial for a long time.

Reconciliation doesn’t start with love. It usually starts with something quieter: beginning to be mindful and curious while turning inward.

Here are a few places to begin this summer.

No one gets to define what feels safe except you.

Therapy often automatically gets called a “safe space,” but a label doesn’t make it true. We know that harm can happen in spaces that were supposed to be safe, and we hold that seriously.

We don’t get to decide whether you feel safe with us. That’s yours. We do what we can to cultivate as much safety as possible and care deeply about your experience of safety in our space. But if you communicate that something doesn’t feel right, that is your lived reality and it matters.

We offer free 15-minute phone or video call consultations with any of our therapists prior to booking a paid session.

Sometimes these can be a bit intimidating if you aren’t sure what to ask or say.

We wanted to give you a bit of a guide of what you could ask or talk about in these consults 😊
