Personality Disorders Therapists in Tampa, FL

One of the most common challenges we face is reaching out for help. Too often, we suppress or deny our emotions and trauma experiences, believing that we have to process them alone. This suppression can cause adverse symptoms such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and relational or self-destruction. It is my belief that we do not have to continue suffering alone and therapy is a great step towards healing the damage we think can never be undone. Therapy helps create an atmosphere where understanding, change and growth are possible while giving back the power to make our own meaning and purpose in life.

Did you know that disassociation, intrusive thoughts, "perfectionism" are signs of an anxiety disorder? Most anxiety disorders come from the need to control, the need to know, and the inability to let go. I consistently work with students, adolescents and young adults that are going through a number of life's changes while struggling to maintain adequate self-care routines. My speciality is with anxiety disorders such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, social anxiety and phobias. If this sounds like a good fit for you, then let's work together to overcome anxiety and start living a more peaceful life.

Imagine for moment being free form self-limiting fears. What would life be like if you felt empowered by your obstacles, instead of chained by them? What if you could engineer your mind to take your personal or professional life to the next level-and beyond? I encourage you to explore and experience the magic of motivation and transformation. I will meet you where you are in the moment and help you build from there at your comfortable place. Our work together will be entirely individualized and personalized to you. I specialize in personality disorders , anxiety and relationship issues. Regain your focus and create your vision.

I have been practicing Marriage and Family Therapy and individual therapy since 2005. Marriage is a bond that is often difficult to keep together as a couple goes through difficult times. Therapy will focus on components to assist clients from being stuck in their own way of thinking and processing. It is the stuck place that often brings people to feelings of helplessness, depression, anxiety and not perceiving issues with hope and options for change. I specialize in helping couples working through more severe issues, such as, infidelity, personality disorders , etc.

Hello, my name is Anna Schad. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist in Florida specializing in trauma, eating disorders, personality disorders , and codependency. Over the years I have worked with teens and adults in all levels of care including residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient. I am passionate about the work I do and love coming alongside my clients to help them break free of the beliefs, toxic shame, and other obstacles that are preventing them from moving forward and being the people they are capable of being.

I work with adult children, partners and siblings of individuals with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorder traits. It can be difficult to find a therapist who truly understands the impact and wounds of being raised in a home or being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or borderline traits. My work includes creating a healthy psychological separation, changing the negative internal messages, learning how to respond to others, creating healthy boundaries, stopping the legacy of distorted love and becoming your true and authentic self.

We all have a path that we go down in life and many times the experiences we have in life make us who we are as a person, and this also contributes to our career choices. We all have past traumas, and my traumas encouraged me to want to help others just as I had guidance on my journey. I have an empathic gift that would be a shame to not share.
