Understanding Complex Patterns, Healing Relationships, Restoring Balance
​
Personality disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect how individuals think, feel, relate to others, and manage emotions. At Insight Counseling Fort Wayne, we provide Personality Disorder Counseling for individuals who struggle with long-standing emotional and relational patterns as well as for those impacted by a loved one’s behavior.
​
Whether you are seeking support for yourself or healing from a difficult relationship, our therapists offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs.
​
What Are Personality Disorders?
​
Personality disorders involve persistent patterns of inner experience and behavior that differ from cultural expectations and cause distress or impairment in relationships, work, and emotional functioning. These patterns often develop over time and are deeply connected to early life experiences, attachment, trauma, and coping strategies.
​
With the right therapeutic support, individuals can gain insight, develop emotional regulation skills, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Personality Disorders We Commonly Address
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
​
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by patterns such as:
Inflated self-importance or grandiosity
Sensitivity to criticism or rejection
Strong need for admiration or validation
Controlling, defensive, or manipulative behaviors
Difficulty empathizing with others
Ongoing relationship difficulties
While these behaviors can deeply impact others, they often stem from insecurity, emotional wounds, and unmet attachment needs. Therapy focuses on building self-awareness, emotional insight, and healthier relational patterns.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Borderline Personality Disorder involves intense emotional experiences and difficulty regulating emotions and relationships. Common features include:
​
-
Fear of abandonment
-
Intense or unstable relationships
-
Emotional reactivity or mood swings
-
Impulsivity
-
Chronic feelings of emptiness
-
Difficulty with identity or self-image
​
With appropriate treatment, individuals with BPD can develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationship skills.

Anxiety, depression, or emotional burnout
-
Codependency or boundary difficulties
-
Loss of self-esteem or identity

These patterns are often gradual and difficult to recognize without professional support. Therapy helps individuals and loved ones understand these dynamics and restore emotional balance.
