BPD
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a very treatable condition. However, it can be misdiagnosed for other disorders, and this can delay treatment gains. Following a thorough evaluation to establish BPD, I use one of three forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapy (i.e., Transference-Focused psychotherapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment, or Supportive Therapy) alone or in combination. All of these therapies have been tested in clinical trials. I have published professional works (e.g., articles; a book) on psychodynamic therapy. 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.

Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) require therapy integral to their treatment. BPD is a complex and challenging mental health disorder characterized by intense and unstable emotions, self-image difficulties, impulsivity, and turbulent relationships. The purpose of therapy is to assist individuals in managing their feelings, enhancing their coping abilities, and developing healthier relationships with themselves and others.
The therapeutic approach selected for BPD can vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, severity of symptoms, and treatment objectives. The multifaceted nature of BPD is frequently treated with a combination of therapies and methods.
Therapy for BPD is frequently long-term, and the therapeutic relationship between the patient and therapist is essential for treatment success. Individuals with BPD must engage with mental health professionals with experience and knowledge in treating this complex disorder. Suppose you or someone you know is struggling with BPD. In that case, seeking assistance from a qualified mental health professional is recommended to develop an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan.
