Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Personality disorders often involve long-standing patterns that impact emotions, relationships, self-image, and coping. While these patterns may feel deeply ingrained, growth and change are possible. Therapy can help increase self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and create healthier ways of navigating life's challenges while honoring your unique experiences and strengths.

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. 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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address personality disorders with a comprehensive and faith-based approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healing and personal growth. Recognizing the challenges associated with personality disorders, I create a therapeutic space that combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with biblical teachings on grace, redemption, and transformation. I may incorporate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on identity in Christ to help individuals explore the roots of their personality challenges. Collaborating with clients, I aim to foster self-awareness, coping mechanisms, and a deeper understanding of one's identity within the framework of Christian beliefs. This integrated approach seeks to support individuals in navigating the complexities of personality disorders while promoting spiritual and emotional well-being.

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.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating personality disorders for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.

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.

Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. Virginia Hospital Center and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latinx population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
