Schizophrenia can impact perception, thinking, and connection to reality in ways that feel overwhelming and isolating.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Schizophrenia is a specific type of psychosis characterized by delusions and hallucinations. It is considered to be a thought disorder as opposed to a mood disorder such manic-depression (bipolar I and II). Anti-psychotic medications can be helpful initially to "clear" the mind, but I believe the most important aspect of the treatment is the psychoanalytic relationship over a number years. I believe schizophrenia, like all mental illness, is based in traumatic experiences for the individual and can best be dealt with treating the brain with nutrients and the mind with very careful talk therapy over a number of years. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Schizophrenia
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Experiences associated with schizophrenia can profoundly affect one’s sense of self and self-in-relationships; but these experiences do not erase the person having them. I approach psychosis with respect and curiosity, attending not only to symptoms but to the emotional meanings, relationships and fears surrounding them. Psychoanalytic therapy can provide a steady relationship in which experiences that may feel fragmented, frightening, or difficult to communicate can gradually be put into words and thought about together. When appropriate, this work can take place alongside psychiatric care and other supports, with the aim of helping you feel more grounded, understood, and connected to yourself and to other people.

Chula Vista is one of California's fastest-growing cities and sits directly north of the US-Mexico border, with a predominantly Hispanic population and a large community of residents who maintain close ties to Tijuana — making bilingual Spanish-English therapy not a specialty but a basic access requirement for much of the population. The city's location within the broader San Diego metro means residents have access to the full range of institutional mental health resources, including Scripps Health and Sharp HealthCare, while Chula Vista's own private therapy community has expanded significantly alongside its population growth. The city's significant Filipino community and growing South Asian population add further dimensions to the demand for culturally competent care. Military families connected to Naval Base San Diego also form part of the local therapy clientele given the city's proximity to base housing.
