Question by JNNY: Where can I find Help for Borderlin Personality Disorder?
I dont know where to begin, the internet seems to have very little information on finding a GOOD BPD mental health professional..

How can I find the right person for me? I live in NYC, so I am lucky there I guess.

You can ask a therapist how much experience they have with the disorder and go from there. If they don’t have much experience, ask them if they can recommend someone. I found a web site called BPD Sanctuary that has a listing of some docs. Here are some but also check out that site for more info about BPD.

Best answer:

Answer by cintchick
The link I included below will take you to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) treatment center locator. SAMHSA is a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services

Enter a city and state, then select “Continue”. You will then be offered options to target your search. In your case, under “Services Provided” you would select “Substance Abuse” and under “Type of Care” you would select “Residential Long-Term Treatment” and/or “Hospital Inpatient”. Again, select “Continue”. You will then see a list of centers with their contact information, as well as a summary of the services they offer and forms of payment accepted.
