Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for psychotherapists who have experience with helping BPD clients and are willing to work with couples remotely (via Skype, etc). I'm having trouble finding the right person. We have had a couples counsellor for some time, and it was mildly useful, but when I finally had a chance to tell him my wife has been diagnosed with BPD, he said that he suspected that may be the case, but that it wasn't his area of expertise. Is there any help available to couples where one  partner has BPD?

… well, its either the yellow pages (hit and miss)… word of mouth, the local health department, or the internet… I used;

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us

To help me in my "local area" search.

It could be a start!

Kind Regards, Red5
