At Santa Clarita Behavioral Health, we combine therapy with practical support to help you manage symptoms of personality and mood disorders, so you can build healthier, more balanced ways of living.
Personality and mood disorders often develop early in life and shape how a person thinks, feels, and interacts with others. Personality disorders, such as borderline, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorders, can make it difficult to handle everyday situations and relationships.
Mood disorders, including major depression, bipolar disorder, and seasonal affective disorder, involve emotional states that feel out of sync with life circumstances. Common symptoms include sadness, irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite.
At Santa Clarita Behavioral Health, our clinicians use evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy to help you understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In addition to these therapies, we incorporate somatic work to help you connect with and regulate bodily sensations. Through this combined approach, you’ll learn to reframe emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve daily functioning.
