Personality Disorders
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.

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.

Personality Disorders
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.
