I have experience with CBT and DBT, both of which are effective with Personality Disorders. I have a lot of experience with people with Personality disorders, especially Borderline Personality Disorder.

So many people suffer with some kind of anxiety. Whether it be social, general, or even phobia, I have found that a combination of Exposure Therapy and CBT can be helpful. I myself have experienced anxiety, and have had great success with a combination of treatments.

Abuse, whether it be Physical, Emotional, Sexual, or Neglect, are all extremely harmful not only to a person's development but to their future thinking, choices, relationships, etc. I have extensive knowledge and experience with all kinds of Abuse, especially CPTSD. I have many approaches and tools to help people who have been abused, and how to approach it depends on the person, the abuse, and the situation.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is a specific approach to therapy that recognizes and emphasizes understanding how the traumatic experience impacts a person’s mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Exposure therapy is a technique in behavior therapy to treat anxiety disorders. Exposure therapy involves exposing the target patient to the anxiety source or its context without the intention to cause any danger. Doing so is thought to help them overcome their anxiety or distress.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.
