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.

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.

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.
