Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Living with a personality disorder—or loving someone who has one—can feel confusing, isolating, and overwhelming. Our specialized therapy services provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for individuals struggling with borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and other personality-related challenges. We understand that personality disorders affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate the world, often leading to intense emotions, unstable relationships, and chronic feelings of emptiness or distress. Through personalized therapeutic approaches, we'll help you develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, build more stable relationships, and create a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. Recovery is possible, and with the right support, you can experience meaningful change and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.

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.

I believe each person has components of a personality issue or disorder so that is a part of the therapeutic process.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Folks with personality disorders are often misunderstood and stigmatized. I often think of personality disorders as feeling stuck in a particular pattern of relating. It can be helpful for us to find and understand those patterns to help find some wiggle room and approach the world in a new way.
