Personality Disorders
Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I help the patient move away from the diagnostic label that they may bring with them, based on prior treatment. I help them identify unhealthy emotional attitudes and behavior that have become fixed; and work towards "growing" dimensions of their personality that expand wellbeing and successful relationships.
