Psychosis Therapists in Allegan County, MI
As a psychoanalyst with 40+ years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, parents, and couples, individuals often to come see me when they have reached the limit of how families, parents, friends, teachers, and colleagues can help. People with whom I have worked have taught me how being understood and responded to regarding interpersonal concerns, conflicts, and crises, can help them move forward in their lives. Just as with chronic physical pain, no one deserves to live with chronic emotional pain. Therapy, as I practice it, is based upon a collaborative effort to alleviate such pain and move forward.

Hello! Life has a way of coming at us in the most unpredictable, unimaginable ways. This can make the most "put-together-person" crumble. If you are feeling overwhelmed, scared, angry, confused, alone, helpless, worthless, stressed, lost, sad, or if you're looking for someone to help you grow into your ideal self.... you've come to the right place! We are humans. We make mistakes, we fall down, we get hurt, life is messy, and it gets to be too much and is seemingly unmanageable for us. With some help, we will go through the process of rebuilding, stand back up and then become stronger than we were before.

People enter into a counseling relationship when nothing else seems to be working. Although most people soon make comments such as, “(Counseling) was a lot better than I thought it would be”, few people seek counseling as a first option. More often we seek out techniques that either help us to temporarily avoid (e.g., media, social networking) our anxiety, or we seek temporary shots of pleasure (e.g., alcohol, food, pornography) that make us feel good for a short time. Soon enough we realize that all of these things leave us feeling more hollow and lonely, and that is when we start thinking about counseling.

I've primarily worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, mania, psychosis, and substance use.
I have a particular passion for working with people who hear voices, see visions, have strong beliefs, experience paranoia or intense worry, or other altered states. These experiences are generally referred to as psychosis, and I believe that they’re an understandable response to what are often incredibly difficult life circumstances and events.

I have specialized training in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), IRT (Individual Resiliency), and CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy), and have my spent career working with adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns with special attention to distress related to depression, anxiety, psychosis, mania, self-esteem, life transition, and loss.
I recognize that each individual arrives in therapy for different reasons. As a practitioner who values self-determination and the individual wisdom of each of my clients, I aim to find what is most helpful to each person based on their unique needs. Therefore, I see my role as offering space to support the personal growth process for those in distress or in search for greater meaning in their life. This may be through cognitive restructuring, behavioral experimentation, compassion-focused techniques, acceptance and commitment strategies or through the interpersonal process.

I specialize in clients experiencing thought and mood disorders, including Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, and psychosis.
Has your experience of life become so painful that you are desperately searching for a reason to live? Have you been “putting in the work” with therapy, medication, and using coping skills, but nothing seems to really get better and you’re not sure where else to turn? I not only spent years in traditional treatment, but I dedicated my life to understanding the mind and mental health…and nothing stopped the suffering. After exhausting all options, I began looking outside the box, and eventually found what I had always been looking for: a way out. Not a way out of the body, but a way out of the mind that was torturing me.

I have considerable experience working with clients facing challenges related, but not limited to, complex trauma, interpersonal concerns, mood instability, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, psychosis, adjustment difficulties, and racial identity struggles.
The decision to begin a therapeutic journey can be daunting yet richly rewarding. I specialize in helping clients gently reconnect with their body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance. I support clients in focusing on physical sensations and emotions in a way that feels safe and manageable to help release and restore the nervous system while honoring the bodies wisdom. I integrate relational and somatic based therapies with equine facilitated and eco-therapy (ie.. horses and nature). I am committed to a therapeutic process that fosters self-compassion, creativity, and resiliency, while valuing diversity and authenticity.

Growing the life you want We have one life that we get to live, and so we only have one chance to find and create meaning for our lives. So often we can be hindered by our fears and from the painful points of resistance that we have encountered along the way. Those points of struggle look different for each person, and many times can stay with us for a long time. But we can grow and recover, and taking the time to slow down and care for ourselves is a liberating experience.

Psychosis Therapists
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.
