Personality disorders can make everyday life feel overwhelming — affecting how you relate to others, view yourself, and manage intense emotions. Treating personality disorders and addiction can be done together, and at Amity Palm Beach, we’re here to help. You may feel misunderstood, out of control, or stuck in destructive patterns that repeat despite your best intentions.
At Amity Palm Beach, we offer respectful, clinically sound treatment for a range of personality disorders — with a focus on reducing emotional pain, improving self-awareness, and fostering more stable, satisfying relationships. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been struggling for years, you deserve care that goes beyond labels and focuses on healing.
What Are Personality Disorders?
Personality disorders are mental health conditions marked by long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that differ from cultural expectations and cause distress or dysfunction.
Common personality disorders we treat include:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Characterized by unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, emotional dysregulation, and impulsive behaviors.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): Involves a fragile sense of self-worth masked by grandiosity, difficulty with empathy, and hypersensitivity to criticism.
Avoidant Personality Disorder: Includes extreme social inhibition and feelings of inadequacy.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD): Marked by rigid perfectionism, control, and difficulty with flexibility.
Antisocial or Dependent Personality Traits
These conditions often develop as responses to early trauma, attachment disruptions, or environmental stressors. They’re not about being “bad” or “broken” — they’re signs of unresolved pain and protective adaptations that have become harmful over time.
Personality Disorders and Co-Occurring Conditions
It’s common for personality disorders to occur alongside:
Substance use disorders
Depression or anxiety
PTSD or complex trauma
Self-harm or suicidal ideation
Eating disorders
At Amity Palm Beach, we provide dual diagnosis care to address both the personality disorder and any co-occurring condition, helping you achieve more stable progress and long-term recovery.

Our Approach to Treatment
We offer two levels of outpatient care tailored to the complexity of personality disorders:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our approach focuses on emotional safety, skill-building, and long-term growth through:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A cornerstone of treatment for BPD and emotion dysregulation, DBT helps individuals develop distress tolerance, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and reshape thought distortions and reactive behaviors.
Trauma-Informed Individual Therapy: Supports healing from early attachment wounds and complex trauma.
Group Therapy: Offers insight, connection, and social practice in a safe, structured space.
Medication Management: For mood instability, anxiety, or depression symptoms when appropriate.
Family Therapy: Improves communication and boundary-setting within family systems.
Our providers focus on building trust, reducing stigma, and helping you become the expert of your own experience — not someone to be fixed, but someone to be understood.
