Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Being told you have a personality disorder—or even wondering if you might—can feel overwhelming or loaded with judgment. But in reality, these diagnoses often reflect long-standing patterns that developed as ways to survive difficult or painful experiences. They are not a character flaw. They are an invitation to look deeper at how you relate to yourself, your emotions, and the people in your life.
I work with people navigating traits related to personality disorders, whether that means intense emotions, fear of abandonment, identity confusion, impulsive behavior, or difficulty trusting others. Together, we explore how these patterns formed and how to respond to them with more awareness, choice, and care.
If you’ve been misunderstood or mislabeled in the past—or if you're doing the hard work of untangling complicated relationship dynamics—therapy can be a place to make sense of it all. Healing is possible, and it doesn’t require you to become someone else. It just asks you to stay curious and open to change.

Personality Disorders
Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Living with traits or patterns associated with personality disorders can affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and manage emotions, often leading to challenges in relationships, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. You may experience intense emotions, fear of abandonment, difficulty with boundaries, or patterns that feel hard to change on your own.
Avery provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand these patterns and how they impact your life. Using a compassionate, skills-based approach, she helps clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping strategies, improve relationship patterns, and develop greater stability and self-understanding. The focus is on supporting meaningful change at a pace that feels safe, grounded, and collaborative.

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.

McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, a rapidly expanding Dallas-area suburb in Collin County whose population has surged with families and professionals drawn by strong schools, lower housing costs than central Dallas, and a robust job market. The pace of growth itself creates mental health demand—new residents navigating relocation stress, parents managing the pressures of achievement-oriented suburban culture, and young professionals balancing demanding careers with family life are among the most common therapy clientele. Medical City McKinney and a growing network of private practices serve the community, and the proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents additional options via telehealth or a short commute. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, life transitions, relationship and parenting stress, and the particular strains of raising a family in one of America's most rapidly transforming suburban landscapes.
