Schizophrenia Therapists in Little Rock, AR

I provide long-term, compassionate support for individuals living with schizophrenia. My focus is on stability, connection, and dignity—helping you navigate voices, visions, or paranoia without shame. We’ll build coping strategies, medication support (with your provider), and daily routines while honoring your cultural and spiritual framework for understanding your experiences.

Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders can have profound effects on peoples' lives. However, therapy can be a very helpful addition to medication and other treatments. I have experience treating psychotic disorders using Psychodynamically-Oriented Supportive Therapy (POST) and other approaches. I have also published professional works on both hallucinations and delusions. Please note that I only do individual therapy (i.e., not couple's or family therapy).

I provide a tailored therapy approach for addressing schizophrenia that is based on your specific goals. I draw on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training (CBSST), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (CBT).

Experiencing psychosis can be deeply frightening and isolating, but you are not alone. Estimates of percentages of people who experience psychosis range from as low as 1% to as high as 15% or more, though there remains a significant stigma attached. In movies and TV, individuals who experience psychosis might be depicted as aggressive or even violent, whereas, in reality, the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others. The experience of psychosis can significantly impact our relationships, romantic or otherwise. However, our most current research and understanding identifies fostering relationships as one of the most effective means of coping with and recovering from psychosis. In the same way that difficulties with relationships, especially in youth, can be a contributing factor to the first onset of psychosis, positive relationships during and following an episode can help us overcome the logistical, practical, emotional, cognitive, and physical challenges often associated with such symptoms and related diagnoses. Social relationships, including romantic relationships, are inherent to recovery. Whether you have experienced psychosis yourself, or if you have a loved one or close other who has experienced or is experiencing psychosis, you will find support at PCT!

Losing touch with reality is more complicated than just trying to realign oneself with the external environment. To understand this experience, one must work to appreciate the subjective realities that illuminate these challenges.

Little Rock is Arkansas's state capital and its most significant healthcare hub — home to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and a concentration of major hospital systems — creating a well-developed mental health training and clinical infrastructure relative to the city's size. The city's African American community — which comprises roughly forty percent of Little Rock proper — drives important demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, intergenerational resilience, and the particular dynamics of a Southern city still navigating the legacy of its civil rights history, including the 1957 Central High School crisis. Baptist Health and CHI St. Vincent provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Little Rock's role as a regional medical center means it draws therapy clients from across a wide rural surrounding area where local access is limited.
