Personality disorders are often the result of finding creative ways to survive challenging early experiences. Honoring these responses and developing more flexible ways for navigating relationships and meeting needs is essential in improving your quality of life.

Personality Disorders
Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with a personality disorder can affect relationships, emotions, and self-image in complex ways. I work with individuals to increase self-awareness, understand long-standing patterns, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Therapy offers a structured, supportive space to build emotional regulation, strengthen coping skills, and support lasting change.

Personality Disorders
Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
"Living with a personality disorder often feels like navigating intense, overwhelming, and chaotic internal world. As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a gentle, non-pathologizing approach that helps you move from chaos to inner harmony.
Using IFS, we won't try to eliminate your symptoms. Instead, we will get curious about the "parts" of you that are protective, reactive, or angry, understanding that they are actually trying to protect you from old wounds. We will help these parts step back and trust your core "Self," allowing us to heal the deep, underlying emotional burdens (exiles) that drive your behaviors.
Using EFT, I will help you become more aware of your intense emotions, treating them as valid messengers rather than problems to be fixed. Together, we will create a safe, empathetic space to process these emotions, improve your regulation, and build secure, stable relationships.
This combined, experiential approach helps you stop fighting yourself and start healing, fostering self-compassion and empowering you to live from a place of calm, confidence, and connection."

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.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
