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.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Helping clients and families identify what they can change and what they can’t change is a major goal in DBT. In therapy, we help loved ones minimize their contributions to the problems (by invalidating) while also helping coach them in how to be real, transparent, and how to set their own limits.
Learning how and when to validate is a huge part of the process.

Kansas City, Kansas is a distinct city from its more prominent Missouri neighbor across the state line, with a lower median income, a more industrial economic base, and a substantially more diverse population that includes large Latino, Somali, and other immigrant communities for whom culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health care is a significant need. Wyandotte County, which encompasses Kansas City, Kansas, has fewer mental health resources than the Missouri side of the metro, and many residents cross into Missouri to access the broader Kansas City mental health market. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related stress and trauma, family dynamics, economic anxiety, depression, and the challenges of navigating daily life in a community where language barriers can limit access to support. University of Kansas Health System, based in the city, provides some behavioral health services, and community health centers fill important gaps in a county with significant unmet mental health need.
