Purpose

Whether you're seeking to understand potential personality disorders or simply wish to gain insight into your normal personality traits, our assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation. Personality disorders involve enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate from cultural expectations, leading to significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. We assess conditions such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and more. Additionally, for those interested in exploring their personality in a non-clinical context, we offer assessments that map out your personality traits according to well-established psychological models like the Big Five (OCEAN) traits.

Assessment Process

The assessment process begins with an in-depth clinical interview to explore your personality traits, interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, and behavior patterns. For those concerned about personality disorders, this interview will delve into specific symptoms and behaviors associated with various disorders. If you are interested in a normal personality assessment, the interview will focus on understanding your general personality characteristics, values, and preferences. You will then complete a series of standardized questionnaires designed to assess either the underlying personality structure (for disorder assessment) or your personality traits (for normal personality assessment). The goal is to provide a detailed understanding of your personality, whether in a clinical or normal context. Afterward, you will receive a comprehensive report that includes a diagnosis (if applicable), an analysis of your personality structure or traits, and tailored recommendations for therapy, personal growth, or self-understanding.

Time Commitment:

A comprehensive assessment typically requires 4-6 hours, though this can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the specific tests administered. The process may be spread out over multiple sessions for comfort and accuracy.
