Personality Disorders
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When emotions feel intense and relationships become painful or unstable, it can feel like you are stuck repeating the same patterns. We will take a respectful, nonjudgmental approach to understanding what is happening underneath those cycles. I help clients build steadier coping, clearer boundaries, and healthier ways of relating so life feels more manageable and relationships more stable.

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
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Personality disorders reflect enduring patterns shaped by early relational and survival needs. IFS, DBT-informed skills, attachment, and psychodynamic approaches provide a compassionate framework for reducing shame and building new relational patterns. Integrative and mindfulness further support emotional regulation. I also work closely with prescribers when symptoms require medical support, and my diagnostic training helps distinguish overlapping conditions such as trauma or mood disorders.

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
