Personality Disorders
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
The word disorder is misleading. What gets called a personality disorder is almost always a self that organized itself brilliantly around conditions that demanded it — conditions that were often unbearable. The rigidity, the intensity, the patterns that keep producing the same crises: these are not defects. They are architecture. And architecture can be understood, respected, and — slowly, from the inside — redesigned. This work is long. It requires a relationship that can withstand what the person brings into the room. That is the point.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
People have issues. Many have personality disorders. I will hep you help yourself modify your thoughts and behaviors. I use Psychodynamic hypnotherapy and Dicit hypnotherapy too. I also use other clinical hypnotherapies too. All my clients with personality disorders are recovering. So should you.
Hypnotherapy is a beneficial complementary tool for managing symptoms of certain personality disorders (PDs), such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), but it is rarely a standalone cure. It is most effective when used alongside traditional psychotherapy for emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, and developing coping strategies. What I do is hypnotherapies for your resilience and recovery.

Gina Majestro
Psychologist, PsyD, HSP, HSPP
Sometimes it feels like you’re doing everything “right,” but inside, you still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you want to be. You may have patterns that feel impossible to break, relationships that seem unstable, or emotions that feel too intense or unpredictable. Maybe you’ve carried old wounds for a long time, and you’re ready for something to finally shift.
I work with adults navigating the challenges of personality disorders, helping you move beyond survival and start truly living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your story. Together, we’ll explore the protective patterns that once helped you cope — and build new ways of feeling grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.
You don’t have to do this alone. Healing is possible, even if you’ve tried before and nothing seemed to work.
I offer in person therapy in Louisville, KY and virtual therapy for adults in Kentucky, Indiana, and across 42 PSYPACT states.
If you’re ready to move from surviving to truly living, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Treating personality disorders is one of my clinical specialties. Although personality disorders are, by definition, long-standing problems, they can indeed be treated. I generally use one of four contemporary psychodynamic approaches (i.e., Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Supportive-Expressive Therapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment, and Supportive Therapy), either alone or in combination, to help people improve. I have published professional works (i.e., articles; a book) on psychodynamic therapy as well. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Not everyone’s brain works the same way. Some folks have a bigger emotional reaction to a fight and a slower return to baseline. Some people struggle with focus and concentration. Some people find they can be hyperfocused on a task to the detriment of their job, or might feel very overwhelmed in a crowd. For a lot of our patients, being diagnosed with is the first difficult but necessary step to change, whether it’s finding out you have ADHD, PTSD, a personality disorder or if you’re on the Autism spectrum. Learning about how your brain works can help you become more adaptive, so that you can better apply your strengths and avoid pitfalls. Our therapists love working with brains of all varieties, including yours.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Folks with personality disorders are often misunderstood and stigmatized. I often think of personality disorders as feeling stuck in a particular pattern of relating. It can be helpful for us to find and understand those patterns to help find some wiggle room and approach the world in a new way.

Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
I have worked with various personality disorders over the years. One thing I have found to make a big difference in how therapy goes is the nature of the therapeutic relationship, and this seems particularly true for work with personality disorders.

Personality Disorders
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
When long‑standing patterns of coping, relating, or identity feel rigid or overwhelming, it can be hard to understand why they developed or how to shift them. Many people who have been given, or are wondering about, a personality disorder diagnosis are living with a complex mix of early attachment experiences, chronic stress, and protective strategies that became deeply ingrained over time. I approach these patterns as understandable adaptations rather than fixed traits. In our work, we look at what these strategies have been managing, how they shape your sense of self and your relationships, and what more flexible and grounded ways of relating might be possible now. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and the depth of what these patterns have carried.
