Starting Personality disorder therapy

What is personality disorder therapy?

Personality disorder counseling is an effective form of mental health treatment for those with personality disorders. 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 Austin, TX 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 Austin, TX 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.

Need more help deciding?

Though there are many types of personality disorders, most fit into three clusters: anxious and fearful behaviors, eccentric and odd behaviors, and dramatic, erratic, and emotional behaviors. Examples of personality disorders include compulsive personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and paranoid personality disorder.

The causes of personality disorders

There is no known cause of personality disorders but according to the American Psychological Association, about 30% of people who seek treatment for mental health issues are eventually diagnosed with a personality disorder.

Advances in counseling for personality disorders

The sad truth is that it was only a few decades ago when many professionals believed there was little if anything that could be done to help with these disorders. Today’s counseling is far advanced from this point and there are both medications and talk therapies that have been proven effective.

Core beliefs can be hard to shake

A core belief is something a person believes even when they have evidence that it’s not true. They simply aren’t able to see that evidence and can only see evidence that supports their erroneous belief. These core beliefs can be about other people, the world in general, or the person themselves.

Counseling can help clients understand where these core beliefs started and how to better process evidence that supports and these beliefs and to recognize evidence that doesn’t support said beliefs.

It often starts with getting feelings under control

Personality disorder counseling is a personalized experience but for many clients, it begins by focusing on getting feelings under control. Only then can the individuals begin to work on the rest of their issues. This can be done via talk therapy, pharmaceuticals, or both.

Thriveworks Austin Counseling and Coaching is here to assist you on the challenging yet rewarding journey of personality disorder counseling.

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.

★★☆☆☆
This is prior to being seen so this is strictly based on first impressions upon entering the building. The waiting area is nice but undefined as to where one should go nor any indications as to what is needed to be done. No one was there to greet us nor was there any desk or window to suggest someone would. We looked for the therapist's office but no doors had any identification to point us in the right direction. At this point we're at the mercy of the clock alerting the therapist to seek us out in the waiting area in order to be seen. Not the best first impression. I will update this review if and when we are seen.

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
