Trauma and PTSD, chronic pain, and psychosis-related conditions often overlap with substance use in complex ways.
Therapy with me is hard work. It asks for flexibility—being open to new ways of responding, thinking, and relating, even when that feels uncomfortable at first. That willingness to adapt is what allows change to last, rather than reverting to familiar patterns that only offer short-term relief.

Are you struggling to understand your feelings and put them into words? Maybe you feel like something is off, but you can't put your finger on it. Or, perhaps you've experienced bouts of depression, or periods of high anxiety. As a result you find there is a pattern of dissatisfaction in your relationships; with yourself and others. Consequently, you feel confused and question your value. This "normal" experience no longer works. You are searching for a therapist because you want to feel valuable, secure and hopeful. You also desire a better relationship with yourself, and others.

What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
