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.

16 Years Experience

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.
