Psychosis
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Experiences such as paranoia, unusual beliefs, or perceptual changes can feel disorienting and isolating. Therapy provides a grounded, nonjudgmental space to make sense of these experiences, reduce distress, and strengthen coping and reality-testing in a collaborative way.

Psychosis
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Relational Psychoanalyst, LCSW, Psychotherapist
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
Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
If you are diagnosed with psychosis or suspect you have it, you can learn to have a more productive, satisfying life. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with the unique challenges you face. Psychotherapy works well in tandem with psychiatric treatments to manage medications, or other treatments, if applicable.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
