Psychosis
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Experiences that are often described as psychotic can feel disorganizing, frightening, or isolating, as if reality itself has become unreliable. In analytic work, we approach these experiences with care and curiosity, listening for their emotional meaning rather than rushing to dismiss or control them. Over time, this kind of work can help restore a sense of coherence, safety, and psychological continuity, allowing the mind to feel more inhabited and less alone with what it is carrying.

Psychosis
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
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the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.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!

Paterson is one of New Jersey's largest and most ethnically diverse cities, a former industrial hub whose silk-milling heritage has given way to a dense and vibrant immigrant community spanning Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern populations, with mental health needs that are correspondingly multilingual and cross-cultural. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the demand for multilingual, culturally competent care—particularly in Spanish and Arabic—significantly outpaces the available supply. St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson provides behavioral health services, and community organizations supplement what is a largely under-resourced formal mental health system. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, family stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and community cohesion across generations in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
