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.

Personality Disorders
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals experiencing personality-related difficulties, including long-standing patterns that impact emotional regulation, relationships, self-image, and overall functioning. These challenges are often associated with chronic interpersonal conflict, emotional instability, difficulty maintaining relationships, and persistent patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that feel hard to change.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach, recognizing that personality-related patterns often develop in response to early childhood trauma, attachment wounds, emotional neglect, abuse, or invalidating environments. Therapy focuses on increasing insight, emotional awareness, and the ability to understand and gradually shift long-standing relational and behavioral patterns.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting change. Treatment often involves exploring past experiences, attachment dynamics, and core beliefs that continue to influence present-day relationships, emotional responses, and identity.
Personality-related challenges are typically persistent and deeply rooted, which means meaningful progress often requires consistent, structured therapeutic work. Rather than focusing only on surface-level behaviors, therapy emphasizes understanding underlying emotional pain, processing trauma, and developing healthier ways of relating to self and others.
Brad also works with couples and families when appropriate to support improved communication, healthier boundaries, and more stable relational dynamics. This collaborative approach can help reduce conflict, increase understanding, and support more balanced and functional relationships over time.
The goal of therapy is not to label or define a person, but to support emotional growth, greater self-awareness, and the ability to build healthier, more stable, and more fulfilling relationships. With the right support and commitment, meaningful change is possible.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
