Personality Disorders therapists in Altamonte Springs, Florida FL

I offer a safe, healing place to begin work around personality issues. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.  

My expertise in treating personality disorders, particularly with a focus on DBT techniques and compassionate care for those with borderline personality disorder, sets me apart as a therapist dedicated to facilitating meaningful transformations in the lives of individuals facing these challenges. Through my training, experience, and commitment to holistic care, I aim to guide clients on their journey toward improved mental health, emotional stability, and enhanced well-being.  

Dr. David Steinbok believes that change occurs within the individual, through insight and awareness. By utilizing the therapist as an accepting, non-judgmental participant, one can come to understand what keeps them from moving forward and achieving more satisfaction in their lives.  

I work extensively with both Clinical and Forensic populations, delivering targeted Behavioral, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) Therapies tailored to the specific needs of each individual client. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with Personality Disorders (Borderline, Narcissistic, Antisocial), Mood Disorders (Anxiety, Depression), Behavioral Disorders (Oppositionality, Anger), and Sexual Dysfunction. In addition, I treat sex offenders, individuals convicted of violent and non-violent criminal offenses, perpetrators of domestic violence, and other forensic populations. * In my capacity as a Psychological Evaluator, I conduct thorough diagnostic clarification of psychological symptoms in clients of all ages. These range from Sexual Disorders, to Developmental Disorders (Autism Spectrum, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity), Substance Use Disorders, Mood Disorders (Bipolar, Obsessive-Compulsive), and Personality Disorders. * In my Forensic Evaluation work, I conduct assessments upon referral from the Courts, private, state, and federal agencies, self-referrals, and attorneys. These Evaluations include: Fitness for Duty (FFD), Sex Offender Risk Assessments, Violence Risk Assessment, Psychosexual, Substance Abuse, Competency to Stand Trial, and Parenting, as well as Pre-Sentence Investigations, and various other forensic evaluations.  

Personality disorders are learned patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that interfere with functioning especially in relationships. These patterns can be changed with therapies such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
