Personality Disorders Therapists in Houston, TX
I specialize in working with young adults and adults who have experienced trauma and/or struggle with mood, anxiety, substance use, or personality disorders that hinder their functioning and/or relationships. Together, we will work to understand what is keeping you stuck or preventing you from making progress and we will identify areas in which you would like to see change. While my approach is primarily psychodynamic, I incorporate attachment theory, DBT/CBT skills, mentalizing, and family systems theory depending on my clients’ needs and presenting problems.

For many, deciding to meet with a therapist is a big decision. Often times it is seen as a last resort. Talking to family and friends is not always the preferred way of dealing with a situation and that is when talking to a professional is something to consider. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, grief, PTSD, family dynamic problems, couples, parent-child relationships and more. I strive to help my clients learn the skills to work with whatever life throws at them.

In my clinical practice I have worked with : trauma-bonding, codependency patterns, insecure attachment style narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, developmental transition.
I am Daheem Din, a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing since 2006, offering my services to clients across different countries. My role involves aiding individuals, couples, and families in establishing meaningful relationships with themselves and those around them. Relationships inherently experience phases of connection, disconnection, and reconnection. Central to this journey are the processes of rupture and repair, which I help clients navigate and resolve. I have observed the nuanced dynamics of relationships, noting how unconscious forces influence our interactions and co-create the relational spaces we inhabit.

I have extensive experience with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, impulsive behaviors including suicidal and self-injurious behaviors, poor body image, personality disorders, and low self-esteem.
So many of us are suffering because we are unconsciously holding on to limiting beliefs and maladaptive coping behaviors that have helped us to survive in the past, but are no longer serving us in the present. We fear our own shadow and conceal parts of us that we have been taught not to like - the parts that make us human. This causes our actions to be driven by fear, doubt, and shame rather than freedom, confidence, and love. You have the power to be the person who takes up space confidently, honor your needs, and live from a place of freedom and unconditional love.

I also specialize in working with individuals that have experienced mental/emotional abuse from a narcissistic parent, guardian, or romantic partner.
I believe that we all experience trauma at some point in our lives whether we recognize it or not. Unaddressed and unprocessed trauma affects all aspects of our lives - school, work, parenting and relationships. Initially, my goal is to help individuals understand and identify trauma and how it impacts everyday living. As the therapeutic process continues, I will aid in creating new healthy pathways of thinking as well as how to react and respond to triggers that result from past traumatic events.

My particular areas of expertise include: Adolescent issues, Depression, Anxiety, Personality Disorders, relational/relationship challenges, suicidal ideation, adjusting to life's stressors, PTSD, trauma/shame, and gay men’s issues/challenges.
Life is full of challenges and obstacles that we often feel we are unable to overcome. My goal is to help you discover your inner strength and motivation to keep moving forward, even when it feels too painful. I find that building strong relationships with others helps keep us emotionally regulated and feeling connected. I place heavy importance on building a strong therapeutic relationship during our initial sessions. This will help create a compassionate, safe, and growth-fostering environment where progress is inevitable.

Overcontrol has been linked to social isolation, poor interpersonal functioning, hyper-perfectionism, rigidity, risk aversion, lack of emotional expression, and difficult to treat mental health problems including chronic depression/anxiety and personality disorders: OCPD, Avoidant PD, Schizoid PD, Dependent PD.
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is designed for people that struggle with over-thinking, obsessional thinking, trouble relaxing, rigid or inflexible responding, excessive self control, avoidance of feelings or expressing emotions, maladaptive perfectionism, and high levels of loneliness. People with overcontrol (OC) report "seeing the threat everywhere." They tend to mask emotional expressions, sometimes without even knowing they are. Many OC's have a high-attention-to-detail focus (other's behaviors or household or work tasks), and find they ruminate when things are uncertain or unexpected.

It can be scary & frustrating when you don’t feel like yourself & don’t know why you feel this. You’ve tried everything to help with your mood changes, overwhelming feelings of nervousness, guilt and not feeling good enough, but nothing seems to work. It can be scary reaching out to a therapist because you want to find someone who really connects with you. I began my training in 2011 and completed it at The Menninger Clinic. I believe in creating an alliance with my clients. My warm & compassionate demeanor allows me to empathize with my clients, put them at ease & help them open up.
