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.

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.
