I work with people experiencing psychosis, such as unwelcome voice hearing, unusual & scary thoughts, intense fear, or difficulty telling what's real.
Are you experiencing voices that others don't hear or beliefs that others struggle to understand? Whether it's unseen observers describing your day, a sense of impending doom, or hidden meanings in ordinary events, these experiences can be profoundly isolating. You might find your voices offer companionship or insight, while at other times they become harsh critics or frightening presences. Maybe you've noticed everyday sounds transforming into words or mumbles, or felt so cautious in public spaces that you feel exhausted. Though these experiences are more common than many realize, navigating them alone can be overwhelming.

My clients tend to be intelligent and insightful individuals who come to work with me because they suffer from despair and disorder.

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.
