Amy Lowenhar Blauweiss, LMHC, PsyD

Amy specializes in the identification and treatment of personality disorders and co-occurring conditions, including addiction, mood disorders, and bipolar spectrum disorders. Grounded in Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), she views personality disorders not as fixed or untreatable, but as patterns shaped by heightened sensitivity to interpersonal experience. Her work centers on helping clients build new capacities for emotional regulation, relational stability, and meaningful behavioral change.

Drawing from MBT, DBT, and psychodynamic modalities such as Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), Amy integrates evidence-based practices with deep psycho-education. As a clinician, researcher, and professor, she collaborates closely with the Gunderson Personality Disorders Institute at McLean Hospital and remains involved in ongoing international research. She is affiliated with leading professional organizations including the North American and International Societies for the Study of Personality Disorders, the International Psychohistorical Association, and the International Society for Political Psychology.
