Object Relations
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Hi! I am a clinical psychologist (PhD) trained at Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. Though I treat a number of conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma), I have a great deal of experience helping people with personality disorders, sleep disorders, rare/unusual psychological conditions, and clinical problems which have been formerly resistant to treatment. Along with my practice, I stay active in the field through research, publications (i.e., books and articles), and other professional work. I particularly enjoy living lectures for popular science organizations in the US and abroad. Please visit my website (linked below) for more information.
