Virtual evaluation and care for Borderline Personality Disorder

You are not too much.
You've just been carrying a lot, alone.

Lotus is a place to be met exactly where you are, by clinicians who understand Borderline Personality Disorder deeply, yet will see you as a person beyond your diagnosis.

No referral or diagnosis needed. Not sure if it's BPD? We can evaluate you.

Not sure if it's BPD?

We can evaluate you for BPD. No referral, no prior diagnosis.

Most people who come to Lotus have never been formally assessed, or were told something else first: depression, anxiety, bipolar. A real evaluation by a clinician who specializes in BPD is where clarity starts, and it's often the first time someone looks for the right thing.

How it works

Virtual therapy that fits inside your life.

We deliver structured, specialized therapy for BPD, grounded heavily in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), entirely online. Every session happens from wherever you feel safest, no commute and no waiting room.

Lotus Room
A space that's just yours.
Weekly individual therapy

A 50-minute session with the same therapist every week, trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, who gets to know you, not your chart. By video, with evenings and weekends available.

Lotus Lounge
Where everyone gets it.
Weekly skills group

A small video group of people who understand from the inside, learning and practicing Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills together, one module at a time.

Lotus Light
For the 9pm moments.
An AI coach, any hour

When a skill won't land at 9pm on a Tuesday, your Lotus coach is there: an AI trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy that helps you find and use the right skill in the moment, between sessions. It supports your therapy; it doesn't replace it, and it isn't a crisis line.

If you have, or think you might have, Borderline Personality Disorder, you've probably heard things about yourself that aren't true.

Few diagnoses carry as much stigma, sometimes from the very people meant to help. Here's what we believe instead.

“BPD is untreatable.”
What's actually true
Symptoms fade with the right care. Many people stop meeting criteria for the diagnosis altogether, and go on to lives that feel like their own.
“You're too much to work with.”
What's actually true
Your intensity is also your capacity for love, loyalty, and depth. We're here for all of it, not just the easy parts.
“If you were trying harder, you'd be fine.”
What's actually true
You've probably been trying harder than anyone around you knows. Effort without the right tools is exhausting. The tools are learnable.

Why I started Lotus

I started experiencing mental health issues at the age of 12, primarily presenting as depression. At 14, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. What followed was eight more years in the mental healthcare system, including a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder and, eventually, a rebranding to treatment-resistant depression. I tried over 15 medications and interventional treatments, including transcranial magnetic stimulation and intravenous ketamine.

It wasn't until I was diagnosed with an underlying borderline personality disorder and admitted to a specialized treatment program that things really started to shift. I met peers who had struggled with the same experience of life. I trained in practical skills to manage my emotions and my relationships. And I dove into the deeply seated inner beliefs that were causing such intense symptoms. All this ultimately allowed me to no longer meet the criteria for BPD.

But this care broke the bank, and it was only accessible in one city.

I founded Lotus to bring this kind of specialized care to everyone who needs it, and to make it the standard rather than the exception.

With care, Vibha
