Thanks for the link, Eggy.
I guess I'm a little confused, though. The link describes a woman who does "coaching". Coaching is not the same as therapy. Coaches are not licensed, but Therapists are. One of the related pages says that if you have psychiatric or emotional problems that you need to address those first (with someone else). I would think that Borderline would fall into that category.
Maybe she has finished the requirements for being licensed since that web page was created. Us Borderlines tend to be difficult to handle, so you would want to be sure that she has sufficient training so that she will know the best way to help you. You mentioned behavioral therapy (that will help you to get into KMart), is she also trained in cognitive therapy? I think that (and this is just my opinion) the cognitive part is important to treat BPD.
I'm glad that you feel comfortable with her. Good rapport is so important.
