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
Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my role as a therapist, supporting individuals through their personality disorder treatment often involves elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop emotion regulation skills and interpersonal effectiveness, enabling them to manage challenging emotions and improve relationships. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques assist clients in identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors characteristic of their personality disorder, promoting healthier coping strategies and self-awareness. Drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy principles, I explore the underlying unconscious processes and early life experiences that contribute to the development of personality disorder symptoms, fostering insight and facilitating long-term psychological growth and change.
