Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address personality disorders with a comprehensive and faith-based approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healing and personal growth. Recognizing the challenges associated with personality disorders, I create a therapeutic space that combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with biblical teachings on grace, redemption, and transformation. I may incorporate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on identity in Christ to help individuals explore the roots of their personality challenges. Collaborating with clients, I aim to foster self-awareness, coping mechanisms, and a deeper understanding of one's identity within the framework of Christian beliefs. This integrated approach seeks to support individuals in navigating the complexities of personality disorders while promoting spiritual and emotional well-being.

Personality Disorders
Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my role as a therapist, supporting individuals through their personality disorder treatment often involves elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop emotion regulation skills and interpersonal effectiveness, enabling them to manage challenging emotions and improve relationships. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques assist clients in identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors characteristic of their personality disorder, promoting healthier coping strategies and self-awareness. Drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy principles, I explore the underlying unconscious processes and early life experiences that contribute to the development of personality disorder symptoms, fostering insight and facilitating long-term psychological growth and change.
