I provide specialized therapy for individuals experiencing symptoms related to personality disorders, including borderline, narcissistic, or other Cluster B presentations. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and focused on building emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healthier relationship patterns. Together, we explore underlying wounds, reduce distress, and develop practical coping skills. Using evidence-based approaches like DBT and schema therapy, I help clients foster stability, improve communication, and create more fulfilling, balanced connections.

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
Chelsea Ellinger Center for Change
Counselor/Therapist, Social Worker
Personality disorders are an entire class of mental health conditions. They are characterized by patterns of behavior, thinking, and feeling that aren’t aligned with the expectations of your culture. These patterns, which are outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5) by the American Psychiatric Association, are typically inflexible, exist in many contexts for the person, and lead to distress or impairment. Understanding personality disorders is crucial for the individuals directly affected by these conditions, as well as their families, friends, and colleagues. These disorders can profoundly impact interpersonal relationships, social interactions, and professional life. By gaining insight into the nature of personality disorders, those within the support network of affected individuals can develop more effective communication strategies, foster empathy, and provide better support. This knowledge is also key in breaking down the stigma often associated with these mental health conditions, thereby promoting a more understanding and inclusive society.
