“Many people with BPD I have worked with have already tried multiple kinds of treatment either with or without the correct diagnosis. This can be demoralizing. I wish more people knew there’s hope for recovery with the right care.”

– Stephanie J Reed, MSW, MSN, PMHNP-BC

View article

“In my experience, understanding and working through past trauma is important for helping people with BPD and depression, as unresolved trauma can make symptoms worse and slow down recovery.”

– Brandy Chalmers, LPC

View article

“Black-and-white thinking is common in people with BPD because intense emotions can make it hard to see things in shades of gray, leading to extreme views about people or situations. Remember, this way of thinking is how the brain tries to protect itself. With support, it’s possible to learn more balanced ways of seeing things.”

Common FAQs

How to find the right therapist in Reading, PA

When choosing a therapist in Reading, PA, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you:

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.

How soon can I meet with a therapist?

Therapists in Rula’s network are available to meet as soon as tomorrow.

What should I consider when choosing a therapist?

It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time, Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure? Learn more about the differences between therapy and psychiatry to learn more about the differences.
