Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
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.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

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. 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.
