Personality Disorders
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.

Personality Disorders
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.

Personality Disorders
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
The word disorder is misleading. What gets called a personality disorder is almost always a self that organized itself brilliantly around conditions that demanded it — conditions that were often unbearable. The rigidity, the intensity, the patterns that keep producing the same crises: these are not defects. They are architecture. And architecture can be understood, respected, and — slowly, from the inside — redesigned. This work is long. It requires a relationship that can withstand what the person brings into the room. That is the point.
