I serve those would like some relief from deep emotional pain and suffering stemming from their developmental traumas and/or shock traumas. I journey with those who want to thrive and experience joy instead of living day to day to survive. I also assist those who have had years of therapy and feel like they somehow still carry the past traumatic memories and pain that seem to persist. I would also welcome therapists who want to experience receiving therapy in certain modalities and/or those who want the integration of multiple modalities.

Do you find yourself caring for others more than yourself? Is it difficult for you to recognize your emotions until you get angry, have a panic attack, or break down crying? Are you focused on excelling in your education, career, or family responsibilities that it seems impossible to slow down and release your anxiety? Life can bring different stressors and traumatic experiences that can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and detached from ourselves and others around us. This can also contribute to being stuck in anxious thought patterns that can steal our joy, our ability to be present, and distort our perspectives and beliefs.

Personality Disorders Therapists

What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?

Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?

Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?

The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?

Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
