Personality Disorders
Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
I work with clients with various personality disorders to increase self-awareness, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve interpersonal relationships. Together, we explore patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that may be causing distress. My approach emphasizes support, understanding, and growth to help clients live more authentically and meaningfully.

Personality disorders are learned patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that interfere with functioning especially in relationships. These patterns can be changed with therapies such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.

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.

Personality Disorders
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
When long‑standing patterns of coping, relating, or identity feel rigid or overwhelming, it can be hard to understand why they developed or how to shift them. Many people who have been given, or are wondering about, a personality disorder diagnosis are living with a complex mix of early attachment experiences, chronic stress, and protective strategies that became deeply ingrained over time. I approach these patterns as understandable adaptations rather than fixed traits. In our work, we look at what these strategies have been managing, how they shape your sense of self and your relationships, and what more flexible and grounded ways of relating might be possible now. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and the depth of what these patterns have carried.

Personality Disorders
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Personality disorders reflect enduring patterns shaped by early relational and survival needs. IFS, DBT-informed skills, attachment, and psychodynamic approaches provide a compassionate framework for reducing shame and building new relational patterns. Integrative and mindfulness further support emotional regulation. I also work closely with prescribers when symptoms require medical support, and my diagnostic training helps distinguish overlapping conditions such as trauma or mood disorders.
