The Retreat at Sheppard Pratt
Depth CoreBaltimore, MD, United States
psychiatricAbout
The Retreat combines the intimacy of a boutique residential program (only 22 private suites) with the full clinical resources of the Sheppard Pratt system — one of the nation's leading psychiatric institutions. The emphasis on psychodynamic psychotherapy for personality disorders makes it particularly relevant for depth-oriented treatment.
Depth Orientation
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is explicitly named as a core modality. Each resident works individually with an expert psychotherapist-doctor who leads their treatment team, with multiple individual sessions per week. Strong focus on personality disorders using psychodynamic and DBT approaches — treating underlying characterological patterns rather than just surface symptoms.
