Compassionate, Evidence-Based Support at Meadow Hill Behavioral Health
At Meadow Hill Behavioral Health, we provide specialized care for adolescents struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and related emotional dysregulation. Our compassionate, trauma-informed approach empowers young people to manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and create a stable path forward.
Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex mental health condition that affects the way individuals perceive themselves and others. It often leads to patterns of unstable relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulsive behavior. While commonly diagnosed in adulthood, signs often emerge during adolescence and can cause significant distress if left untreated.
Intense fear of abandonment
Unstable or intense relationships with friends or family
Rapid mood swings or emotional outbursts
Impulsive or self-damaging behaviors (e.g., substance use, self-harm)
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Distorted self-image or identity struggles
Episodes of anger, anxiety, or depression
Difficulty trusting others or extreme reactions to perceived rejection
At Meadow Hill Behavioral Health, we understand the emotional sensitivity and vulnerability of adolescents facing BPD. Our treatment program is designed to promote emotional regulation, self-awareness, and lasting coping skills through a structured and nurturing environment.
Our multidisciplinary team conducts a full psychological and behavioral evaluation to determine the presence of BPD and any co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or ADHD.
DBT is the gold standard treatment for BPD and is a cornerstone of our program. It teaches skills in:
Mindfulness
Distress tolerance
Emotional regulation
Interpersonal effectiveness
Teens learn how to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and navigate social challenges.
One-on-one sessions foster self-reflection and personal growth, while group therapy offers support, feedback, and connection with peers experiencing similar challenges.
BPD symptoms often impact family dynamics. We engage parents or caregivers in therapy to improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen relationships.
Many adolescents with BPD have experienced trauma. Our clinicians are trained to recognize and treat trauma-related symptoms to support deeper healing.
Our residential environment encourages whole-person wellness, including nutrition, physical activity, creative expression, and mindfulness practices.
