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the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.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. 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).

Schizophrenia
Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
The stigma of being diagnosed schizophrenic can make the experience of psychosis even more isolating. I have extensive experience working with folks on the schizophrenic spectrum, as well as other forms of psychosis and dissocation. 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 schizophrenia spectrum disorders often involves medication management, I am happy to work with you wherever you may be on your journey.
