CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
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.

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.

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.
