Personality Disorders
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Personality disorders often involve long-standing patterns related to emotional regulation, self-image, interpersonal functioning, attachment, impulsivity, and coping with stress or vulnerability. These patterns can significantly affect relationships, identity, emotional wellbeing, and day-to-day functioning, often leading to recurring conflict, emotional instability, shame, loneliness, or difficulty feeling understood by others.
I provide therapy for individuals struggling with personality-related difficulties using an approach that is compassionate, relational, and grounded in evidence-based psychological treatment. Therapy focuses on increasing emotional awareness, improving relationship functioning, understanding recurring behavioral patterns, and helping clients develop a more stable and integrated sense of self.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
A personality is not a pathology. I am not a fan of the diagnosis. All people and all personalities are complex and nuanced. Ways of relating that may now create conflict, mistrust, or intense emotional pain often develop for understandable reasons, almost always formerly protective reasons. Psychoanalytic therapy allows us to look beneath the pattern itself and become curious about the fears, expectations, and relational experiences organizing it. Over time, our work can help make rigid patterns more flexible, strengthen your capacity to understand yourself and others, and create the possibility of relationships that feel less governed by old expectations of abandonment, intrusion, rejection, or disappointment.

Life Coach, WAPP
The salutogenic concept of Positive Psychotherapy in the age of globalisation, taking into account stories, wisdom and humour.
Proverbs, as well as mythological motifs, bring up the values and norms of a culture, they refer to certain patterns of thought that are characteristic of culture and capture them in tangible images. Their substructure can be interpreted psychoanalytically.
In Positive Psychotherapy, founded by Prof. Dr Nossrat Peseschkian, a selected proverb is the starting point for exploring the client's particular ways of thinking. Positive Psychotherapy is based on three basic principles:
1st: The principle of hope: Positive Psychotherapy is based on a positive image of man. Each individual can transform his or her possibilities into abilities.
2: The principle of balance: health is a balancing act of various factors: When our body is tired and our senses are overexcited, exhaustion depression often occurs. The feeling of professional overload often leads to depressive pseudo-dementia, disturbances in the contact area cause social isolation, a lack of future planning produces fear of the future.
3rd: The principle of counselling: The counselling of the patient is divided into 5 stages:
a.) The therapist observes the behaviour and thinking of the person seeking advice for half an hour,
b.) the person seeking advice summarizes the events that have shaped his life in recent years,
c.) the therapist discusses possible processing strategies with the person seeking advice,
d.) the person seeking advice defines his goals for the next months,
e.) the person seeking advice defines his or her further aims.
While in the Orient the focus of life is more on the future and contacts, in the West we attach more importance to the physical side and our professional performance. Only if Orient and Occident learn from each other is it possible to keep human life and health in balance in the long run.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Borderline personality disorder can be confusing and painful for both the person living with it and the people who love them. I work with individuals with BPD as well as family members and loved ones to better understand the disorder, navigate difficult relationships, and find healthier ways of responding.
