Personality Disorder Therapy in Knoxville, TN

Counselors and clients alike are grateful that in today’s world, professionals agree that there are many ways to treat personality disorders. In past decades, this was not the case. Today’s options include both therapies and pharmaceutical solutions. If you are struggling with a personality disorder, reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville for help.

Different Classifications of Personality Disorders

Would you be surprised to learn that almost 1/3 of people seeking help for mental health problems have a personality disorder? There are many different types of disorders under this umbrella term but they’re generally collected under one of three different classifications:

  1. Anxiety and fear-based behaviors. Examples include compulsive personality disorder and avoidant personality disorder.
  2. Behaviors classified as dramatic, emotional, or erratic. Common examples in this classification include narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder.
  3. Eccentric and / or odd behaviors. Schizoid personality disorder and paranoid personality disorder are two examples of eccentric and odd behavior personality disorders.

Of course, not every personality disorder fits under these three classifications.

Getting Treatment for Personality Disorders

The idea of seeking help for these disorders can feel overwhelming. The good news is that it all starts with a single step. That step varies for each client based on their needs but often it’s as simple as getting emotions under control with either medication or counseling.

Scheduling Personality Disorder Counseling at Thriveworks Knoxville

People with personality disorders are familiar with core beliefs even if they don’t know the term for them. It applies to beliefs clients have about themselves (and in some cases others) that are both rigid and inflexible. No matter how much proof is offered to them that they’re not true, the individual simply can’t let go of it.

Thriveworks Knoxville Counseling and Coaching works one-on-one with clients to help them understand where these core beliefs come from and to create plans that can help them let go of them to move on with their lives. Reach out today for this level of support.

I like that I am given lots of materials to work with to solidify what I have learned and go back to when I forget what was talked about. I also love that I feel like my experiences or knowledge of therapy isnt a barrier because I am met where I am on skills. Im given information where i lack knowledge and we are able to move on when i already understand a skill.

Brittany Tyler is an amazing therapist that has helped me realize so many truths about myself. She pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best way to improve my mental health. I have received so much clarity from our sessions, and I truly don't know where I would be without her support, validation, and encouragement. I would recommend her to anyone, because she is able to meet the client where they are at to provide the best results. I feel understood, and challenged in the most effective way. Her knowledge is so expansive, and as a therapist myself I have been thoroughly impressed with her technique. She is truly incredible at her job and I am thankful to be her client.
