Personality Disorders
Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Personality Disorders
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.

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
Downhome Counseling , Susan Glass, PsyD., LMLP
Psychologist, PsyD., LMLP
Personality Disorders can often create emotional and relationship chaos. #1 remember it is a diagnosis; it is not WHO you are. In therapy we can work to remove rigid, painful cycles through practical skill-building and emotional regulation. We will work to understand intense internal distress, rebuild as secure and consistent sense of self, and help you navigate your relationships with confidence, clarity, and peace.

Kansas City, Kansas is a distinct city from its more prominent Missouri neighbor across the state line, with a lower median income, a more industrial economic base, and a substantially more diverse population that includes large Latino, Somali, and other immigrant communities for whom culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health care is a significant need. Wyandotte County, which encompasses Kansas City, Kansas, has fewer mental health resources than the Missouri side of the metro, and many residents cross into Missouri to access the broader Kansas City mental health market. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related stress and trauma, family dynamics, economic anxiety, depression, and the challenges of navigating daily life in a community where language barriers can limit access to support. University of Kansas Health System, based in the city, provides some behavioral health services, and community health centers fill important gaps in a county with significant unmet mental health need.
