Conditions We Treat

Personality disorders,treated with hope and humanity.

Borderline, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent — personality disorders shape how a person sees self, others, and the world. With the right care, they are profoundly treatable.

Understanding personality disorders

These are not character flaws.They are patterns that can change.

Personality disorders are enduring patterns of inner experience and behavior — how you think, feel, relate, and regulate — that began early and have caused significant distress over time.

They have long been misunderstood and stigmatized. Decades of research now show that personality disorders respond to treatment. With evidence-based therapy and time, the patterns soften, the relationships heal, and the self comes into focus.

Signs & Symptoms

Common patternswe treat.

Personality disorders take many forms. The patterns below are common across presentations — though every person's experience is their own, and treatment begins with honoring that specificity.

01

Inner experience

  • An unstable sense of self or identity
  • Intense emotions that shift quickly
  • Chronic emptiness or fear of abandonment
  • Black-and-white thinking about self and others
  • Difficulty trusting your own perception
02

Relationships & behavior

  • Stormy or intense interpersonal relationships
  • Impulsive or self-harming behaviors
  • Avoidance of closeness despite longing for it
  • Difficulty regulating anger or distress
  • Feeling fundamentally different from other people
Our Clinical Approach

How we treatpersonality disorders.

Long-term, evidence-based, relational therapy — by clinicians trained specifically in the modalities personality disorders require.

01

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

The gold standard for borderline personality disorder — skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

02

Mentalization-Based Therapy

Builds the capacity to hold your own mind and another's in mind at the same time — the foundation of stable relationships.

03

Schema Therapy & IFS

Long-form approaches that work with the early experiences and inner parts that shape personality patterns — gently, over time.

The Path Forward

What working with uslooks like.

I

Assessment

A thorough psychiatric and psychological evaluation — symptoms, history, biology, life context — to understand what is actually happening, not only what is observable.

II

Personalized care

An individualized plan built with you: evidence-based therapies, judicious medication when appropriate, and supports calibrated to your goals and pace.

III

Integration

Body, sleep, nutrition, and relationships brought into the work — so what you learn in therapy becomes how you live, not only how you cope.

IV

Continuum

A clear path through residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient care — and a thoughtful aftercare plan that honors the work you've done.
