Personality Disorder Treatment Programs in California
Personalized care for personality disorders
Personality disorders are often misunderstood as they vary in type, symptoms, and severity. Common personality disorders include histrionic, narcissistic, paranoid, avoidant, and schizoid personality disorders. Trying to navigate a personality disorder can be challenging, especially when your symptoms seem unmanageable.
Our specialized personality disorder treatment programs in California help you manage your symptoms, provide valuable resources, work on emotional regulation, and restore stability. At Clear Behavioral Health, we create highly individualized personality disorder treatment programs in California that can help you identify, manage, and learn real-life coping skills for your condition.
Personality disorder therapy at Clear Behavioral Health
Our treatments for personality disorders utilize a comprehensive approach, ensuring that we focus on healing your body and mind.
We offer a full continuum of care to treat personality disorders throughout the Los Angeles, CA area, including residential mental health treatment, outpatient programs (partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP), and a virtual IOP that can help you manage your personality disorder from anywhere in California.
Working with various therapeutic modalities in our programs helps treat the entire person, not just the personality disorder. Our programs are in-network with most insurance plans, so you can worry less about finances and focus on healing.
Complimentary initial assessment
You’ll begin with a thorough assessment in which you provide information about your background. Your assessment will include questions regarding the symptoms you are experiencing, the difficulties your symptoms bring you, any medication history, mental health history, and substance use history and your upbringing.
This helps us to create an individualized plan to treat your personality disorder.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
When you don’t require residential care, or are transitioning from it, or are looking for a more elevated level of care than a weekly therapy session, our PHP and IOP programs offer structured support while allowing you to maintain certain aspects of your daily routine.
Both programs include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, and our holistic therapy. Our outpatient treatment programs allow a more flexible schedule to live at home while attending the program during the day or evening and provides a community of mentors, relapse prevention education, personalized assessments, and holistic healing methods, and our PHP and IOP treatments ensure sustainable mind-body wellness.
PHP Includes:
90 days of treatment | 5 days per week | 6 hours per day
Monday through Friday
IOP Includes:
6-8 weeks of treatment | 3 days a week | 3 hours per day
This option works with your schedule, Monday through Friday
What to expect with our PHP and IOP programs
Entering one of our IOP programs will begin your therapeutic journey. IOP gives you the tools needed to navigate your condition, build healthier relationships, and learn useful coping skills.
In each program, you will work with a case manager, an individual therapist, a group therapist, and a holistic practitioner, for the perfect treatment schedule to heal your symptoms related to your condition. These programs include:
Individual therapy
Weekly sessions with a therapist to help you explore the underlying causes of your condition, identify your triggers, and develop coping strategies to last a lifetime.
Medication management
If necessary, our clinicians will prescribe and monitor medications to manage your condition and support healing.
Case management
Weekly case management meetings will help you to develop life skills, build healthy daily routines, and support reintegration into your daily life.
Group therapy
Daily group therapy sessions help you to build a supportive network of peers and explore therapeutic techniques like CBT and mindfulness.
Family Therapy
We will engage the family with therapy sessions to speak about familial issues, learn coping skills for triggers, and how to better understand and support each other.
Holistic groups
Yoga, meditation, sound baths, art and music therapy and other holistic therapies are practiced daily to restore balance between your mind and body.
We are in-network.

Our virtual/online IOP for personality disorders
Whether you have completed a PHP or IOP yet feel like you need more support, or cannot participate in an in-person program due to location or time constraints, our virtual IOP is a great option for personality disorder treatment. You get the same great treatment from our other programs, but online. This helps with flexibility and accessibility issues, catering to your current needs.
Our online treatment programs are in-network with most insurance providers and available for all residents of California.
Featured programs
Our residential mental health treatment for personality disorders
If your personality disorder symptoms are significantly interfering with your daily life or haven’t responded adequately to outpatient therapy, our specialized residential treatment program provides the structured environment needed for meaningful recovery.
In this comprehensive level of care, you’ll participate in evidence-based therapies, be supported by round-the-clock clinical staff, have comfortable semi-private accommodations, peaceful environments for reflection, and nutritionally balanced meals designed to support emotional regulation.
Our residential program offers you the opportunity to step away from triggering environments, establish emotional stability, practice interpersonal effectiveness in a supportive community, develop consistent self-regulation strategies, and build the core skills necessary for maintaining healthier relationships and improved functioning when you return to your everyday life.
What are personality disorders?
Personalities are created from the way we think, feel, and behave in the world. This can be influenced by many things like childhood, environment, and belief systems, and can change over time.
When you have a personality disorder, it is a mood disorder that typically affects your behavior, emotions, and overall personality traits. When managing a personality disorder, you might feel isolated or misunderstood. If left untreated, personality disorders can have detrimental effects on your life.
Effective personality disorder treatment is just a call away
Symptoms and signs of a personality disorder
Some common signs and symptoms of a personality disorder are as follows:
- Ongoing irritability
- Difficulty regulating emotions
- Inflated or distorted self-image
- Unrealistic expectations for yourself
- Delusions
- Chronic boredom
- Lack of self-awareness
- Mood swings
These symptoms can lead to significant distress in your daily life. You might struggle with maintaining relationships or work, feel unable to be truly happy in your day-to-day, and have difficulty completing basic tasks or achieving your goals.
Types of personality disorders
Personality disorders are categorized into clusters. These clusters, A, B, and C, cluster together personality disorders with similar symptoms. Here are the most common personality types:
Cluster A:
Unconventional behavioral disorders:
- Paranoid personality disorder
- Schizoid personality disorder
- Schizotypal personality disorder

If you struggle with a personality disorder, you might experience symptoms of other mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety. Also, you could be more susceptible to developing a personality disorder if you suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
At times, intense emotions and severe symptoms can lead you to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol, which, in turn, can turn into substance abuse. At Clear Behavioral Health, we have a dual diagnosis program to help treat co-occurring conditions.
