Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my role as a therapist, supporting individuals through their personality disorder treatment often involves elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop emotion regulation skills and interpersonal effectiveness, enabling them to manage challenging emotions and improve relationships. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques assist clients in identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors characteristic of their personality disorder, promoting healthier coping strategies and self-awareness. Drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy principles, I explore the underlying unconscious processes and early life experiences that contribute to the development of personality disorder symptoms, fostering insight and facilitating long-term psychological growth and change.

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.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Living with a personality disorder can feel like you are constantly at war with yourself. Your emotions run deeper, your relationships feel more intense, and the world around you can seem unpredictable in ways that leave you exhausted and misunderstood. You may have spent years being told you are too much, too sensitive, too difficult, without anyone ever stopping to ask what is underneath all of that.
You are not too much. You are carrying something that deserves real, skilled support.
At CCW International, we approach personality disorders with compassion, curiosity, and clinical expertise. We understand that these are not character flaws or moral failings. They are complex patterns that developed for a reason, often rooted in early experiences, trauma, or environments that did not give you what you needed to feel safe and secure.
We work with clients to better understand their patterns, build emotional regulation skills, strengthen relationships, and develop a more stable and compassionate relationship with themselves. Whether you are navigating Borderline Personality Disorder, struggling with long-standing patterns that have affected your relationships and your sense of self, or simply trying to understand why you respond to the world the way you do, we are here to help.
Healing is possible. And you deserve a team that actually believes that about you.

I have been treating personality disorders for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Personality disorders reflect enduring patterns shaped by early relational and survival needs. IFS, DBT-informed skills, attachment, and psychodynamic approaches provide a compassionate framework for reducing shame and building new relational patterns. Integrative and mindfulness further support emotional regulation. I also work closely with prescribers when symptoms require medical support, and my diagnostic training helps distinguish overlapping conditions such as trauma or mood disorders.
