Personality Disorders
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals experiencing personality-related difficulties, including long-standing patterns that impact emotional regulation, relationships, self-image, and overall functioning. These challenges are often associated with chronic interpersonal conflict, emotional instability, difficulty maintaining relationships, and persistent patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that feel hard to change.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach, recognizing that personality-related patterns often develop in response to early childhood trauma, attachment wounds, emotional neglect, abuse, or invalidating environments. Therapy focuses on increasing insight, emotional awareness, and the ability to understand and gradually shift long-standing relational and behavioral patterns.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation skills, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting change. Treatment often involves exploring past experiences, attachment dynamics, and core beliefs that continue to influence present-day relationships, emotional responses, and identity.
Personality-related challenges are typically persistent and deeply rooted, which means meaningful progress often requires consistent, structured therapeutic work. Rather than focusing only on surface-level behaviors, therapy emphasizes understanding underlying emotional pain, processing trauma, and developing healthier ways of relating to self and others.
Brad also works with couples and families when appropriate to support improved communication, healthier boundaries, and more stable relational dynamics. This collaborative approach can help reduce conflict, increase understanding, and support more balanced and functional relationships over time.
The goal of therapy is not to label or define a person, but to support emotional growth, greater self-awareness, and the ability to build healthier, more stable, and more fulfilling relationships. With the right support and commitment, meaningful change is possible.

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.
