Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Personality disorders aren't just "being difficult" or having a strong personality—they are deeply ingrained, rigid patterns of thinking and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural expectations, causing chronic dysfunction in relationships and daily life.

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.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY

Living with a personality disorder can make relationships, work, and everyday life feel challenging or unpredictable. It can also leave you feeling misunderstood or stuck in patterns that don’t feel like “you.” Therapy can help. Together we’ll explore the ways your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop tools to respond differently in your daily life. Using evidence-informed approaches, we’ll focus on building self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and supporting lasting change. Whether you’re managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or self-criticism, we’ll work together to create strategies that make life feel more manageable and fulfilling.
