PERSONALITY DISORDER TREATMENT IN DUBAI
Personality disorders consist of various long-lasting behaviors and thought patterns, including conditions like narcissistic and borderline personality disorders. These disorders impact the way individuals view themselves and interact with others. They create unique challenges in personal, social, and professional relationships. These conditions are characterized by deviations from societal norms and expectations, creating a complex tapestry of interpersonal relationships and self-identity. As a clinical psychologist in Dubai, I am dedicated to guiding those affected by personality disorders towards understanding, managing, and transforming these deep-seated patterns. If you or someone you know is grappling with the intricacies of a personality disorder, I offer a space of empathy, expertise, and hope. Together, we can embark on a path of self-discovery and positive change, unlocking the potential for a more harmonious and fulfilling life.
Personality disorders can significantly impact an individual’s thoughts, emotions, and relationships, leading to persistent and challenging behavioral patterns. While these conditions can cause considerable distress, they also offer opportunities for personal growth and improved well-being. My approach combines compassionate care with evidence-based therapeutic strategies to address the underlying causes of these enduring patterns. Together, we can explore the impact of your personality disorder on your life and develop tailored strategies to enhance your relationships and overall quality of life. Whether you’re experiencing the emotional intensity of borderline personality disorder or the challenges related to narcissistic personality disorder, my goal is to foster self-understanding and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms.
If you or your child are seeking help, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Zita Chriszto, for professional support and guidance on your journey to wellbeing.

Understanding and Addressing Personality Disorders
Living with a personality disorder can be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity for significant personal growth. As a licensed clinical psychologist in Dubai, I offer compassionate and evidence-based care for individuals navigating these complexities. Together, we can explore the underlying patterns, understand their impact on your life, and develop tailored strategies to enhance your well-being and relationships. Whether you’re experiencing the emotional intensity of borderline personality disorder or the challenges related to narcissistic personality disorder, my goal is to foster self-awareness and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Effective treatment often involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and support systems. Therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing the multifaceted symptoms of personality disorders. Through therapy, individuals can gain valuable insights, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
In addition to professional treatment in Dubai, there are several self-help strategies that can support individuals with personality disorders:
- Mindfulness and Meditation: Practices that can help manage emotional responses and increase self-awareness.
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep can improve overall mental health.
- Support Groups: Connecting with others who understand similar struggles can provide emotional support and practical advice.
- Journaling: Keeping a journal to track emotions, triggers, and progress in therapy can be a valuable tool for self-reflection and growth.
