Private therapy for BPD?

Hi all, i suspect I have a borderline personality disorder and while I am on the waiting list for an evaluation, I would like to know if someone can recommend a private therapist who specialises in bpd (and DBT would be nice)? I often have a very hard time dealing with my emotions and want to start with therapy asap. Preferably Amsterdam or area but further away is also fine. Thanks in advance for your advices 🙏

When I started my recovery journey I was misdiagnosed with BPD, and at the time I worked with this workbook: https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/the-borderline-personality-disorder-workbook/9200000096694577/

It's great for anyone struggling with any type of severe emotional distress/disregulation and I can recommend it. I didn't work through the whole book, but especially at the start of my recovery journey, even though I do not actually have BPD, it was still a useful tool and made me feel validated.
