Psychosis
TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Psychosis represents a separation from reality primarily as defense mechanism against overwhelming feeling states, most often anxiety and depression. In my experience, all psychosis is trauma based. While anti-psychotic medications can be initially helpful to "clear" the mind, it is the working through of the trauma, or traumas, that is the road to a lasting cure. Since I was trained as a Neuro-Psychoanalyst, I am able to intervene approaching both brain (with brain nutrients) and mind (psychoanalysis) in the treatment. I am recommending twice weekly sessions with a careful respect for why the psychosis is there for the patient. What is the role of the psychosis in preventing the patient from facing overwhelming traumatic experiences. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Experiences such as altered perception, confusion, or loss of contact with reality can be deeply disorienting.

When appropriate, care is coordinated with other providers to ensure stability and safety while addressing the broader emotional experience.

Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
