Navigating life with a personality disorder presents unique challenges, but rest assured, you're not on this path alone. In Nashville, our dedicated team at Tennessee Behavioral Health is here to support you every step of the way toward healing and finding your authentic self. Our team of mental health professionals, including social workers and therapists, offers evidence-based types of psychotherapy, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Schema-Focused Therapy. These treatments help individuals with borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and other types of personality disorders manage impulsive behaviors, regulate intense emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships.
Addressing and receiving treatment for personality disorders is of significant importance for various reasons. Personality disorders are a class of mental disorders characterized by enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate from cultural expectations. These conditions often affect personal relationships, intimate relationships, and interpersonal effectiveness, leading to difficulties in social and occupational settings.
Treatment for personality disorders can help individuals manage their symptoms and significantly enhance their overall well-being. This may involve managing distressing emotions, improving relationships, and achieving greater emotional stability.
Many personality disorders can strain relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Treatment can provide individuals with the tools and strategies to foster healthier, more constructive interpersonal connections.
Therapy and treatment can assist individuals in understanding their behaviors, emotions, and thought patterns, allowing them to better manage and control these aspects of their lives. This can lead to more adaptive coping strategies and emotional regulation.
Personality disorders often co-occur with other mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. Seeking treatment can reduce the risk of these secondary complications, improving the overall mental health of the individual.
Individuals with personality disorders may struggle with social functioning, employment, and daily life activities. Treatment can help them develop skills and strategies for more successful functioning in these areas.
Many personality disorders are associated with impulsive and potentially self-destructive behavior. Treatment can help individuals gain greater control over their impulses and reduce risky behaviors.
We understand that mental health conditions, including personality disorders, are complex and unique to each individual. When you choose Tennessee Behavioral Health, you'll embark on a healing journey tailored specifically to your needs and experiences. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your type of personality disorder, its impact on your life, and your goals.

Living with a personality disorder can be isolating, but our team of experienced therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists provides compassionate and non-judgmental care.

Our treatment approach integrates various forms of psychotherapy, including Mentalisation-Based Therapy, transference-focused psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills training.
We believe in the power of evidence-based treatments to help people with personality disorders manage symptoms and improve their quality of life. Our center provides effective treatment for individuals facing severe personality disorders by incorporating therapies that address unstable emotions, emotional dysregulation, and impulsive behaviours. Our approach includes Psychological therapies, individual therapy, and behavioural therapy tailored to your unique needs.
DBT is a highly effective treatment for borderline personality disorder patients and those experiencing co-occurring mental health conditions, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, and substance use disorder. This therapy focuses on emotion regulation, impulse control, and interpersonal skills, helping individuals manage self-destructive behaviors, suicidal behavior, and erratic behavior. For those requiring intensive care, we offer inpatient dialectical-behavioral therapy, ensuring comprehensive support in a residential treatment setting.
CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and dangerous behaviors associated with DSM-IV personality disorders. This type of therapy is effective in reducing psychotic symptoms, depressed mood, and disruptive behaviour by addressing underlying co-occurring disorders and environmental factors. Our healthcare providers use CBT in therapy sessions, individual sessions, and standard group therapy to promote healthier coping strategies.
For some individuals, medication is a valuable component of their care plan. Our experienced health care providers assess your medical history, family history, and co-occurring conditions to determine the best course of treatment. Medications such as mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medication, and antipsychotic medications may help regulate emotional responses and impulsive behaviour.
