Treating severe mental illnesses requires an expert who knows your case inside out.
Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and severe personality disorders. Living with these requires immense strength.
At Williamsburg Therapy Group, our unique team of psychologists and psychiatrists pride themselves on an unparalleled level of expertise on these conditions. Our paramount goal is to provide people afflicted by these conditions with a safe and productive space for healing and management.
What are severe mental illnesses?
Living with severe emotional conditions can make it difficult to maintain relationships, stay on top of work, and practice self-care. Disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and severe personality disorders can further complicate these challenges.
Through a collaborative process of exploring the connections between a person’s mind and the world around them, life with mental illness can become more manageable and fulfilling.
Individual therapy offers practical strategies for leading a more balanced life, where mental illness doesn’t have to feel like a constant burden. Our psychologists and psychiatrists work with patients to help them manage symptoms, gain stability, and better understand both themselves and their condition.

How Serious Mental Illnesses are Treated
Serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe personality disorders, are often treated with a combination of therapy and medication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely used to help individuals manage symptoms by changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is particularly effective for emotional regulation in conditions like borderline personality disorder. Therapy also fosters self-awareness and insight into the illness, helping individuals set goals for recovery.
Group and family therapy offer additional support, providing understanding and tools for managing life with these conditions, ultimately promoting greater stability and well-being.
Our team of psychologists and psychiatrists will work with you to build a treatment plan that works for you, and guide you all along the way.
