Personality Disorders
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
When long‑standing patterns of coping, relating, or identity feel rigid or overwhelming, it can be hard to understand why they developed or how to shift them. Many people who have been given, or are wondering about, a personality disorder diagnosis are living with a complex mix of early attachment experiences, chronic stress, and protective strategies that became deeply ingrained over time. I approach these patterns as understandable adaptations rather than fixed traits. In our work, we look at what these strategies have been managing, how they shape your sense of self and your relationships, and what more flexible and grounded ways of relating might be possible now. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and the depth of what these patterns have carried.

Personality Disorders
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating personality disorders for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.
