Personality Disorder Treatment
Understand Your Emotions. Build Healthy Relationships. Find Stability.
Living with a personality disorder can feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming. It may affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and respond to life’s challenges. But with the right treatment and support, it is possible to develop emotional stability, build healthier relationships, and live a more balanced life.
Our clinic specializes in comprehensive, compassionate personality disorder treatment, offering evidence-based therapy, practical skills, and long-term support tailored to your individual needs.
What Are Personality Disorders?
Personality disorders are mental health conditions involving long-standing patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that deviate from cultural norms and cause distress or difficulty in functioning. These patterns typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood and impact how individuals perceive themselves and others.
Personality disorders can affect every aspect of life, including work, family, friendships, and self-image—but with specialized treatment, change is absolutely possible.
Common Types of Personality Disorders We Treat
There are several types of personality disorders, each with unique features. We treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD):
Intense emotions
Fear of abandonment
Unstable relationships
Impulsivity
Self-harming behaviors or suicidal thoughts
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD):
Grandiosity
Need for admiration
Lack of empathy
Sensitivity to criticism
Avoidant Personality Disorder:
Extreme social inhibition
Feelings of inadequacy
Hypersensitivity to rejection or criticism
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD):
Perfectionism
Need for control
Preoccupation with order and rules
Antisocial, Paranoid, Histrionic, Dependent, and Schizoid Personality Disorders
Each comes with unique challenges in interpersonal functioning and emotional regulation.
If you’re struggling with emotional extremes, unstable relationships, or chronic distress in your daily life, personality disorder therapy may be the right path forward.
Signs You May Need Help
While symptoms vary by type, common signs of personality disorders include:
Difficulty forming or maintaining relationships
Intense emotional reactions or mood swings
Chronic feelings of emptiness or identity confusion
Fear of abandonment or rejection
Impulsive or risky behavior
Difficulty trusting others
Ongoing conflict with family or partners
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone—and professional support can make a life-changing difference.
Our Approach to Personality Disorder Treatment
Personality disorders are treatable—but they require specialized, consistent care. We provide structured, evidence-based treatment plans designed to help you understand yourself more deeply, regulate emotions, and build healthier ways of thinking and relating.
1. Comprehensive Assessment & Diagnosis
Our clinical team conducts in-depth psychological assessments to understand your symptoms, history, and personality traits. We’ll determine the type of personality disorder and co-occurring conditions (like anxiety, depression, or trauma).
2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is the gold-standard treatment for BPD and other personality disorders. It teaches skills in:
Emotion regulation
Distress tolerance
Mindfulness
Interpersonal effectiveness
We offer both individual DBT therapy and skills groups for full support.
3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps individuals identify and challenge harmful beliefs and behaviors while developing healthier thought patterns and coping strategies.
4. Schema Therapy & Psychodynamic Approaches
For deeper emotional healing, we offer schema-focused therapy, helping clients reprocess early-life patterns that shape current behavior and emotions.
5. Medication Management
While there are no medications specifically for personality disorders, symptoms like anxiety, depression, or mood instability may be managed with medication. Our psychiatric providers will create a plan tailored to your needs.
6. Family & Relationship Support
Living with a personality disorder affects not just the individual, but also their loved ones. We provide family therapy and education to foster healthier communication and understanding.
7. In-Person and Online Therapy Options
Whether you prefer face-to-face sessions or private online personality disorder therapy, our services are flexible, accessible, and confidential.
