Schizophrenia
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Experiencing psychosis can be deeply frightening and isolating, but you are not alone. Estimates of percentages of people who experience psychosis range from as low as 1% to as high as 15% or more, though there remains a significant stigma attached. In movies and TV, individuals who experience psychosis might be depicted as aggressive or even violent, whereas, in reality, the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.
The experience of psychosis can significantly impact our relationships, romantic or otherwise. However, our most current research and understanding identifies fostering relationships as one of the most effective means of coping with and recovering from psychosis. In the same way that difficulties with relationships, especially in youth, can be a contributing factor to the first onset of psychosis, positive relationships during and following an episode can help us overcome the logistical, practical, emotional, cognitive, and physical challenges often associated with such symptoms and related diagnoses.
Social relationships, including romantic relationships, are inherent to recovery. Whether you have experienced psychosis yourself, or if you have a loved one or close other who has experienced or is experiencing psychosis, you will find support at PCT!

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Losing touch with reality is more complicated than just trying to realign oneself with the external environment. To understand this experience, one must work to appreciate the subjective realities that illuminate these challenges.

Schizophrenia
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders can have profound effects on peoples' lives. However, therapy can be a very helpful addition to medication and other treatments. I have experience treating psychotic disorders using Psychodynamically-Oriented Supportive Therapy (POST) and other approaches. I have also published professional works on both hallucinations and delusions. Please note that I only do individual therapy (i.e., not couple's or family therapy).

Overland Park is one of the most affluent suburbs in the Kansas City metro — anchored by a growing healthcare sector and a large concentration of financial services and technology firms — creating consistent demand for therapists working with corporate burnout, perfectionism, and the relationship pressures that come with high-achieving suburban family life. The city's predominantly White, upper-middle-class character coexists with a growing South Asian and East Asian professional population that adds cultural diversity to therapy demand. Johnson County Mental Health Center provides community mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community concentrated in southern Overland Park. The city's suburban character and dispersed layout contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists increasingly encounter in their work.
