Borderline Personality Disorder clinic

About the BPD Clinic - DBT & psychotherapy in Ottawa

Compassionate, Specialized Therapy for Emotional Regulation

Located in the historic Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa, the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) provides specialized, evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals experiencing emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, relationship challenges, and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

We offer both in-person therapy in Ottawa and virtual psychotherapy across Ontario, making high-quality care accessible wherever you are.

Our clinic is particularly known for its focus on Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT) - a structured, skills-based approach that helps individuals better understand and manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build a life that feels more stable and meaningful.

Our Story - Why the BPD Clinic was created

The BPD Clinic was founded by Victoria Kuczynski, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), after years of experience working in residential treatment settings and organizations supporting individuals and families affected by BPD.

Through this work, it became clear that many individuals struggling with BPD and emotional dysregulation face:

Significant stigma
Limited access to specialized care
A lack of structured, skills-based treatment options

In response, the clinic was created to provide a safe, compassionate, and evidence-based space where individuals can access the support they need - without judgment.

We are committed to shifting the narrative around BPD, recognizing that with the right tools and support, change is possible.

Our approach - DBT and Evidence-Based Care

At the BPD clinic, our approach is rooted in Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), one of the most effective treatments for emotional regulation difficulties and BPD.

DBT focuses on building practical skills in four keys areas:

Mindfulness: staying present and grounded
Distress Tolerance: coping with crisis without making things worse
Emotional Regulation: understanding and managing intense emotions
Interpersonal Effectiveness: improving communication and relationships.

We integrate DBT into both individual psychotherapy and our DBT skills groups, offering structured and supportive care tailored to each client's needs.

The Borderline Personality Disorder clinic recognizes and honours that our offices in Ottawa, Ontario, are situated on the unceded and unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabeg Algonquin Nation. We are grateful for the opportunity to work on this land, and pay our respects to its original inhabitants. We are committed to supporting initiatives grounded in decolonizing frameworks that promote individual and collective well-being and healing.

At the BPD clinic, we believe your diagnosis doesn't define you
