Schizophrenia Therapists in Louisville, KY

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 support individuals with schizophrenia by helping them manage symptoms, improve functioning, and enhance quality of life. Together, we develop coping strategies, routines, and emotional regulation skills to navigate daily challenges. My approach emphasizes understanding, resilience, and building a supportive environment for growth and stability.

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.

This component assist with supporting symptom management, emotional regulation, coping strategies, and skills to enhance daily functioning and overall quality of life.

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).

Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
