There are many different personality disorders that one can experience as outlined by the diagnostic manual. I have many years of experience working with individuals who are experiencing an array of personality disorders. Understanding one’s thinking and actions, and possibly the reasons one is reacting a certain way requires some deep soul searching to change. I will help you identify the disorder, understand it. and explore why it exist, Overcoming personality disorders may involve variety of therapies depending on what the presenting disorder is.

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.

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.
