Personality Disorders
Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Personality disorders aren't just "being difficult" or having a strong personality—they are deeply ingrained, rigid patterns of thinking and behaving that deviate significantly from cultural expectations, causing chronic dysfunction in relationships and daily life.

Personality Disorders
Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Personality patterns can affect virtually every area of life, particularly relationships, emotional regulation, and the way we respond to conflict. I help clients understand longstanding patterns, recognize how those patterns affect themselves and others, and develop healthier ways of thinking, communicating, and responding.

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
Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
I treat personality disorders using Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT). MBT rests on a straightforward premise: relationships become less volatile as you get better at reading your own mind and other people's. That is the work — slow, relational, and done in the here-and-now of our sessions, where the patterns are actually available to examine rather than only described.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Living with a personality disorder can make relationships, work, and everyday life feel challenging or unpredictable. It can also leave you feeling misunderstood or stuck in patterns that don’t feel like “you.” Therapy can help. Together we’ll explore the ways your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop tools to respond differently in your daily life. Using evidence-informed approaches, we’ll focus on building self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and supporting lasting change. Whether you’re managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or self-criticism, we’ll work together to create strategies that make life feel more manageable and fulfilling.
