Faithful Connections Christian Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Living with a personality disorder can affect how you understand yourself, manage emotions, navigate relationships, and respond to challenging situations. At Faithful Connections Christian Counseling, we provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals experiencing patterns that may be affecting their relationships, emotional well-being, self-image, or daily life.
Our approach focuses on understanding the unique experiences behind these patterns while building practical skills for emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, self-awareness, and healthier relationships. We work collaboratively with clients to recognize strengths, identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful goals for personal growth. We believe a diagnosis does not define who you are, and therapy can provide an opportunity to better understand yourself and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be incorporated into counseling through prayer, Scripture, spiritual reflection, and exploration of identity, purpose, forgiveness, hope, and healthy relationships. You are more than a diagnosis. With understanding, support, and a w

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.

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.

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.
