What Is a Personality Disorder?

At Footprints, our licensed clinicians provide individualized, evidence-based care (including CBT, DBT, and EMDR) for personality disorders in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space in English, Spanish, and other languages.

A personality disorder is a long-standing pattern of thinking, feeling, and relating to others that differs from cultural expectations and causes distress or difficulty in relationships, work, or daily life. With the right therapist and treatment approach, these patterns can be understood and managed — many people go on to build healthier, more stable relationships and a stronger sense of self.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this treatment only for borderline personality disorder?

No, we work with a range of personality patterns. The focus is always on your specific experience, not just a label.

What is DBT and will I need it?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured approach for emotion regulation. We’ll recommend it if it fits your needs, alongside other approaches.

How long does this kind of therapy usually take?

This work tends to be longer-term, often a year or more, since it involves building new patterns gradually and steadily.

What are common signs of a personality disorder?

Personality disorders involve long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling and relating to others that cause distress or problems in relationships, work or daily life. Examples include intense fear of abandonment, rapid shifts in mood, difficulty trusting others, or a persistent feeling of emptiness. Only a licensed clinician can make a diagnosis, so a first appointment is a good place to start.

Can personality disorders be treated?

Yes. Psychotherapy is the main treatment, and many people see meaningful improvement over time with consistent, structured work, such as DBT for borderline personality disorder. You can learn more from the National Institute of Mental Health’s page on borderline personality disorder.

Can I attend sessions online or in Spanish?

Yes. Online therapy is available nationwide, and in-person sessions are available in the Bronx. Our clinicians include Spanish-speaking therapists.
