Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Personality Disorders treatment and support services cater to individuals experiencing difficulties due to enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that significantly deviate from cultural expectations, causing distress or impairment in functioning. Our specialized care focuses on understanding the complexity of personality disorders, such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), and others, with the aim of guiding clients towards healthier and more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and the world around them.
Tailored Therapeutic Approaches
* Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A core treatment for individuals particularly with BPD, focusing on building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps in identifying and changing negative thinking patterns and behaviors associated with various personality disorders.
* Schema Therapy: A therapeutic approach that combines elements of CBT, attachment theory, psychodynamic concepts, and emotional processing to address deep-rooted patterns.
* Psychoeducation: Educating clients about their condition to promote understanding and self-awareness, which is crucial for managing symptoms and fostering healthier relationships.
* Support Groups and Peer Support: Facilitating connections with others facing similar challenges, providing a supportive community for sharing experiences and coping strategies.
