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.
Thriveworks personality disorder counseling in Marietta, GA 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.
Thriveworks’ personality disorder counseling in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.
A need to be provided for, low self-esteem, an acute desire to please, and difficulty with mutually-beneficial relationships are the key characteristics of the disorder. It presents many professional and personal difficulties in a person’s life, but it also has treatments. Mental health professionals can often tailor a treatment plan to meet an individual’s needs and promote self-reliance and individuality.
The therapists at Thriveworks Marietta have worked with many clients who have dependent personality disorder. We understand how the disorder works and how people may learn how to live resourceful, independent lives.
Diagnosing the disorder can be difficult because certain developmental stages or cultural practices can look very much like dependent personality disorder. Children into their late teens rely upon their parents to provide for their needs. This is not a disordered dependence, but it is developmentally appropriate. Similarly, in some cultures, it is respectful to defer to those in authority. Again, this is not a disorder, but such behavior is culturally appropriate.
Because of these factors, it is important for mental health professionals to carefully diagnose the disorder. Often, the condition develops as people transition from adolescence into adulthood. They often have difficulty making that change and enter into a fully self-sufficient maturity. Further, the disorder increases an individual’s risk of other anxiety, depression, personality, and adjustment disorders.
The three major signs for Dependent Personality Disorder are:
A minimum of five other symptoms will also be displayed:
Dependent personality disorder does not have to steal people’s uniqueness and their abilities. It is a serious illness, but there are several therapies available that have been used to help others find their way as a self-sufficient individual. Some people benefit from cognitive behavior therapy; others are aided by psychodynamic therapy. Medication may be helpful as well. Skilled therapists can develop a holistic and personalized treatment plan. The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Marietta have worked with many clients who have dependent personality disorder.
