Personality Disorders
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating personality disorders for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. I use a skills-based treatment called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to focus on teaching my clients techniques in the areas of emotion regulation, relationships, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Please note that I offer a modified version of this therapy that includes individual therapy only. A full program in DBT typically includes both individual therapy and group therapy which may be a more appropriate fit for you. You and I can discuss which option is the best for your needs.

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.

I work with clients with various personality disorders to increase self-awareness, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve interpersonal relationships.

My approach emphasizes support, understanding, and growth to help clients live more authentically and meaningfully.
