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.

* Schema Therapy: A therapeutic approach that combines elements of CBT, attachment theory, psychodynamic concepts, and emotional processing to address deep-rooted patterns.
* Education: 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.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Jacinda Andrews
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD-C, LPC, NCC
Living with a Type A personality can feel like being driven by an unrelenting need for order, control, and perfection. While these traits may have helped you succeed in some areas, they can also create stress, rigid thinking, strained relationships, and difficulty adapting to change. Together, we'll explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, build greater flexibility, and develop practical skills to help you find balance, improve relationships, and create a life guided by your values rather than perfection.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
I treat personality disorders using Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT). MBT rests on a straightforward premise: relationships become less volatile as you get better at reading your own mind and other people's. That is the work — slow, relational, and done in the here-and-now of our sessions, where the patterns are actually available to examine rather than only described.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.
