Online Therapy for Personality Disorders, Anxiety, and Depression Throughout California

Have you been diagnosed with a personality disorder? Or suspect you have one?

You’ve come to the right place.

Do any of these sound familiar?

You want to be free from worry, overthinking, dread, low self-esteem, or feeling flawed but instead you:

  • Feel afraid of what others think of you

  • Don’t trust people and are afraid of rejection or abandonment

  • Are a people pleaser but deep down you resent those you help

  • Lash out in anger and say things you later regret

  • Try to control things and people to feel calm

Whatever you’re experiencing, it’s affecting the quality of your relationships, work, sleep, and most of all — drained the enjoyment out of life.

Life doesn’t have to be this way.

Hi, I’m Stacie Brown, and I can help.

I have dedicated my career to helping adults have more satisfying relationships with others as well as themselves. Personality disorders are not a life sentence! We all have personality traits that we can rewire (and not just learn to cope with).

Why DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) is not enough

to treat a personality disorder

You need more than coping strategies. Our brains like efficiency. They create pathways, or shortcuts, during our early years that instantly tell us how to react, think, and feel. And our automatic responses are influenced by our core beliefs at the subconscious level.

How personality disorders can develop, and how schema therapy can help:

Let’s say your parents often treated you as if you didn’t matter. You felt unloved. Throughout childhood, kids ignored you and you ate alone. You learned to cope by being a people pleaser (genius, by the way) to get your emotional needs met. Every time you thought you were being ignored, you were triggered with overpowering emotions and thoughts. Your brain remembered “You’re unlovable. You’d better make them happy. Quick, do whatever they ask of you.” Fast forward into adulthood… these patterns no longer serve to protect you and are, in fact, causing problems.

Wouldn’t you want more than coping strategies at the conscious level to help?

Wouldn’t you want to also change the instant reacting, faulty beliefs and perceptions, and intense emotions once and for all? Get your needs met? That’s what schema therapy does.
