Coping with a personality disorder can be a tremendous challenge and can greatly impact your life. I have worked extensively with individuals who have faced similar challenges and have received extensive training in evidenced based treatment models like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I know it can be overwhelming, but we can work together to develop coping skills that will help you navigate these difficulties in a more manageable way.
