Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with individuals navigating personality disorders, offering a structured, skill-based approach grounded in understanding patterns rather than labeling or judgment. If you find yourself stuck in intense emotional cycles, relationship challenges, or reactions that feel hard to control, we work together to make sense of those patterns and create meaningful change. Using evidence-based approaches like DBT along with mind-body awareness, I help you build skills for emotional regulation, improve relationships, and develop a stronger, more stable sense of self. My goal is to support you in creating lasting change in a way that feels both practical and empowering.

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.

Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right,” but inside, you still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you want to be. You may have patterns that feel impossible to break, relationships that seem unstable, or emotions that feel too intense or unpredictable. Maybe you’ve carried old wounds for a long time, and you’re ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults navigating the challenges of personality disorders, helping you move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your story. Together, we’ll explore the protective patterns that once helped you cope — and build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to do this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to move from surviving to truly living, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Personality Disorders
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Personality disorders reflect enduring patterns shaped by early relational and survival needs. IFS, DBT-informed skills, attachment, and psychodynamic approaches provide a compassionate framework for reducing shame and building new relational patterns. Integrative and mindfulness further support emotional regulation. I also work closely with prescribers when symptoms require medical support, and my diagnostic training helps distinguish overlapping conditions such as trauma or mood disorders.
