Personality Disorders Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Stop finding yourself back in familiar, repetitive, negative emotion states like anger, anxiety, or sadness. I work with clients who experience intense or painful emotions along with the relationship or behavior issues that often accompany them. I have unique training in Transactional Analysis and Redecision Therapy which I use to help clients get free of coping responses & compulsive behavior. I use Motivational Interviewing to assist clients to connect to their inner sources of motivation to grow & change. Learn how to move out of avoidance, over-compensation, or surrender -- stop coping and really thrive.

Making the choice to enter a therapeutic relationship is not one to take lightly. I provide a relaxed, collaborative and non-judgmental atmosphere. I take into account that everyone is different and have different goals they want to achieve. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, mood/personality disorders, depression, life transitions, or relationship issues, we will work together to gain insight on underlying beliefs and experiences that may be contributing to your distress. You will leave our sessions feeling empowered, supported, encouraged, and equipped to create the change you want.

I live by the motto “I can and I will watch me” and I apply this mindset when working with clients to be their best selves. I enjoy providing treatment to children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families and strive to build an effective therapeutic relationship that develops life-long skills enhancing an individual's strengths to adjust to life in today's society. My approach is to provide a safe space and help others achieve fulfillment and happiness through believing that regardless of what life has thrown their way, they can persevere through it.

I treat a wide variety of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and personality disorders. However, I specialize in the treatment of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sexually compulsive behaviors better known as “sex addiction.” The reason I don’t prefer that term is because it oversimplifies both the subjective experience and the symptoms. For example, overuse of pornography, or countless hours spent browsing single’s ads online doesn’t necessarily involve sex, but it can be compulsive.

In this ever-changing and evolving world, we are all feeling some confusion, perhaps isolation, and a little anxiety in our lives. I see this in my clients’ lives and in my own. Therefore, I am dedicated to working with adults and teens in individual and couples counseling because I can empathize and help people learn new tools to live a healthier, more joyous life. Trauma, relationships, and even family can sometimes negatively affect us. I strive to empower people to become unstuck and move forward with more positivity and strategies to make great changes for themselves.

With 30 years of experience delivering psychological services, I can help you reduce distressing symptoms and navigate stressful situations. Whether this is your first time seeking professional help or you have tried psychotherapy in the past, I can help you identify short term and long term goals and begin achieving those goals quickly. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy but will use other modalities as needed for your specific needs. I have successfully worked in hospitals and in the community, with men, women and adolescents.

I am proud of you for taking this step to search for a therapist. Often times the hardest part is getting started and finding a professional who meets your needs and someone who you feel you can be comfortable with. For me, the therapeutic relationship is the number one predictor of counseling outcomes. My biggest goal is to create a comfortable space, offer you techniques and skills to build on, and work together to challenge beliefs, patterns, and thoughts.

So, I'm a tall person - 6'2" to be exact. I know what you're thinking - "Do you play sports?" and "How's the weather up there?" Well, despite my stature, I lack any notable athletic abilities, but I do have some equestrian skills up my sleeve. As for the weather? That’s confidential information for tall people only! As a therapist, I pride myself on breaking free from traditional constraints and fostering a warm, inviting atmosphere, filled with laughter and a touch of quirkiness. My approach is rooted in authenticity, collaboration, and genuine human connection – because that's where the magic truly happens.

Hello and Welcome! First and foremost, I'd like to commend you on taking the first step. Oftentimes the first step is the hardest, but... YOU'VE DONE IT! Often, I ask clients, “How do you eat an elephant?” After the looks of bewilderment subside, I am most often told, “You can’t”. As your counselor, it is my hope to show you that it can be accomplished. But how? "One small bite at a time." My ideal client is one who is willing to take a chance on becoming the absolute best version of themselves. It is my hope that in working together, we can tackle the stressors of everyday life and get back to living a fulfilled life.

My name is Courtney Krolikowski. I have been practicing therapy for the past 8 years. I currently hold licenses for practicing in North Carolina, Wisconsin and Illinois.

Are you feeling stuck or invalidated? Are you struggling with loving your body? Do you want to feel at home and safe in your body? Change is hard, and you deserve the support you need. My goal is to aid in guiding clients to creating the life they desire. I believe that therapy is a powerful tool, and the therapeutic alliance is crucial to change. I’m a licensed clinical social work associate. Before outpatient work, I worked as a primary therapist in a residential eating disorder treatment center. I practice through a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and believe everyone should feel safe in their bodies.

There is no need to struggle alone, and yet we often do. Our suffering may appear in many different forms, from depression and anxiety, to relationship issues, substance use and more. It’s time to shed this idea that “we have to have it all together” and allow ourselves be human for a moment. In this honest space, my clients tend to become more in touch with their authentic selves and establish beliefs, values, narratives and take steps towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Each individual experiences difficulties in their lifetime; however, everyone responds to their challenges depending upon their own sense of self, as well as, the basic units of support in which the individual does or does not have in their life. As someone who practices what I preach, I can say therapy works! - but only if you are able to accept the mindset that we grow together, not apart. I find mental health to be just as, if not more important as physical health. Having support in our lives is ultimately what keeps us stable and connected. While it will not erase difficulties we face, therapy can be used as a significant tool
