Starting Personality disorder therapy

What is Personality disorder therapy?

Personality disorder counseling is an effective form of mental health treatment for those with personality disorder. It aims to treat dangerous behavior as well as behavior that might contribute to a low-quality of life.

How does Personality disorder therapy work?

Thriveworks personality disorder counseling in Charlotte, NC is personalized to each individual, dependent on their unique needs and the severity of their personality disorder. That said, it often works best to have a team of professionals involved in treatment, which might include a psychiatric provider and/or other experts in addition to your therapist.

Is Personality disorder therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks' personality disorder counseling in Charlotte, NC is conducted both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Personality disorder therapy last?

The length of personality disorder counseling sessions will depend on the individual's specific personality disorder, which means it can vary from one person to the next.

Can Personality Disorders Be Effectively Treated?

Previously, fifty years ago, the medical community held the belief that there were limited avenues for assisting individuals with specific personality disorders. However, today, we understand that there are various methods for offering support. Treatment may involve a combination of medication and talk therapy or focus on one of these approaches.

Are Personality Disorders Uncommon?

Contrary to popular belief, personality disorders are not rare. According to a study conducted by the American Psychological Association, nearly one-third of individuals seeking mental health treatment received a diagnosis of a personality disorder.

How Many Categories of Personality Disorders Exist?

There exists a wide array of personality disorders, typically classified into three clusters: disorders characterized by anxious or fearful behaviors, those marked by dramatic, erratic, and/or emotional behaviors, and disorders involving eccentric or odd behaviors.

What’s the Initial Step in Treatment?

Seeking assistance is the primary step. Once you reach out to a counselor, they will conduct a thorough assessment of your situation and devise a tailored treatment plan. For many patients, the initial focus revolves around managing emotions, which can be achieved through various therapeutic techniques, medications, or a combination of both.

What Are “Core Beliefs”?

Those delving into counseling for personality disorders often encounter the concept of “core beliefs,” which are prevalent among individuals with these conditions. Essentially, core beliefs refer to deeply ingrained convictions that persist even when confronted with evidence to the contrary. Part of the counselor’s role involves assisting clients in addressing and challenging these beliefs.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

I've worked with Mrs. Matson for close to a year now and I can say with certainty that she's a great counselor to go to for help with emotional regulation and understanding, grief management, and processing trauma in healthy and beneficial ways. Her use of meditation techniques to get to the root of my emotions and habits have helped me understand so much about myself and why I operate the way I do. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone just starting out looking for a good counselor, or anyone looking for a friendly empathetic professional who listens well and draws from a wealth of information to provide really quality services.

I have seen Dr. Daniel Stillwell for a year for individual and couples counseling and I trust him immensely. He is a skilled, authentic, and highly competent professional. I’ve also referred him to others and they described the same. Thriveworks staff have been very helpful with insurance and appointments.

Adriana Blanco is wonderful. I never felt any judgement from her during our sessions. She is compassionate, firm and extremely knowledgeable. I could not see myself opening up as much with another counselor, thank you for putting her in my path.
