Increase Self-Awareness

By developing greater self-awareness, you can better understand triggers and deeply embedded patterns. Treatment encourages greater insight and clarity for personal development.

Regulate Emotions

When intense and sudden emotions arise, it can be challenging to self-regulate. Through therapy, you can learn emotional regulation techniques that help you navigate challenging experiences.

Improve Relationships

Noticing and modifying behaviors in real time allows you to cultivate more meaningful connections with others. A licensed therapist provides the tools to strengthen this skill.

Develop Coping Strategies

There are many reasons a personality disorder can be challenging to work through. Our tailored treatment equips you with specific tools and coping strategies to manage symptoms.

Build Confidence

Personality disorders can result in loss of self-esteem and self-worth. With expert treatment, you can rebuild your self-image through greater understanding, compassion, and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Personality disorder treatment is a therapy that specifically focuses on thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that are generally associated with personality disorders. The goal is typically to disrupt the deeply engrained patterns and replace them with those that are more conducive to leading a productive and fulfilling day-to-day life. 

While general therapy typically addresses a rather broad spectrum of mental health concerns, personality disorder treatment is primarily focused on the thoughts, patterns, and behaviors associated with maladaptive adaptations resulting in personality difficulties. The objective is to provide clients with the tools and coping strategies to manage their disorder and improve interpersonal connections.

The length of time clients with personality disorders seek treatment varies and is dependent on the individual as well as the personality disorder itself. While some may begin to see changes within a few months of treatment, others will benefit from more long-term, ongoing support.

The term “cure” is not necessarily applicable to all personality disorders. However, through increased self-awareness of patterns and triggers, adoption of healthy coping mechanisms, and deeper connections with others, clients can experience significant, positive shifts. This could include a reduction in symptoms and an overall improvement in quality of life.

No, prescribing medication is not typically a primary part of treatment plans for personality disorders. However, depending on the presence of other mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression, some clients may find medication to be beneficial for addressing particular related symptoms.
