Psychosis Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Psychosis is a word that is used to describe a wide range of experiences. These experiences can include hallucinations (seeing things no one else can), delusions (hearing voices and messages that no one else can), feeling isolated, detached and anxious. I can help you make sense of your experiences, find ways to communicate with those around you about what you need, want or desire and develop strategies for addressing your symptoms without pathologizing you. You are having your own unique experience of being human. It's important to me that we not overlook that.

Psychotic disorders can have a profound effect on people's lives. However, therapy can be a 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 hallucinations and delusions. Please note that I only do individual therapy (i.e., not couple's or family therapy).

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.

Rocker Health has experienced and competent staff to deal with these issues.

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

Indianapolis has a significant mental health burden tied to its opioid epidemic and poverty rates, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and trauma are consistently in demand. The city has a large faith community and many therapists integrate spiritual approaches into their work with clients navigating grief, marriage issues, and major life transitions. Indiana University Health and Eskenazi Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with private practices serving the Broad Ripple, Carmel, and Fishers communities. The city's mid-size scale means many Indianapolis therapists carry lower caseloads and offer more accessible waitlists than their counterparts in larger metros.
