Psychosis
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Psychotic disorders can have a profound effect on people's lives. However, therapy can be a 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 hallucinations and delusions. Please note that I only do individual therapy (i.e., not couple's or family therapy).

Psychosis
Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
The stigma of psychosis can make the experience even more isolating. I have extensive experience working with folks who experience psychosis and dissociation. My goal is to provide supportive and compassionate therapy to help you identify and achieve self-defined goals to support your safety, comfort, and happiness. We can engage with specific modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, or we can take a more relational approach that is flexible and prioritizes a human connection over specific “exercises.” I do not provide med management, and while treatment for psychosis often involves medication management, I would be honored to work with you wherever you may be on your journey.

Psychosis
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I have worked psychologically with psychotic people for many years in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have found this work to be intensely rewarding for me, and generally beneficial, sometimes lifesaving, for patients. I do not believe that psychosis is a purely biological disorder without meaning in itself. It is an extreme condition of confusion and alienation that requires intense empathic understanding, patience and ingenuity of the therapist. I like the concept of "spiritual emergency" for most cases of acute psychosis, and such states should be seen as profound bids for health and growth by someone who no other way to pursue those things. This is always my approach, and generally it has paid off.
