Psychosis Therapists in Fayetteville, NC

I provide specialized care for patients experiencing psychosis, including assessment, medication management, and supportive therapy. My approach prioritizes safety, symptom reduction, and helping patients reconnect with their goals and community.

I provide compassionate support for individuals experiencing psychosis, focusing on understanding and reducing distressing experiences. Together, we work on coping strategies, emotional regulation, and building routines to enhance daily functioning. My goal is to help clients regain stability, confidence, and a sense of empowerment in their lives.

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).

I offer a grounded, non-frightening space for individuals experiencing psychosis or unusual beliefs. My approach focuses on safety, relationship, and meaning-making without forcing agreement or disagreement. We explore how stress, trauma, or cultural context may shape your experience, and I support you in staying connected to daily functioning and trusted supports.

I approach psychosis with a compassionate and faith-based perspective, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to provide support and guidance. Recognizing the profound challenges faced by individuals experiencing psychosis, I create a safe and empathetic space that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith. Collaborating with other mental health professionals as needed, I work to help individuals and their families navigate the complexities of psychosis within the context of their Christian beliefs. While respecting the need for psychiatric intervention and medication, I address the spiritual and emotional aspects of the individual's experience. This holistic approach aims to support individuals in finding strength, hope, and a sense of purpose grounded in their Christian faith as they navigate the challenges associated with psychosis.

Fayetteville is home to Fort Bragg (briefly renamed Fort Liberty from 2023 to 2025) — one of the largest Army installations in the world — making it one of the most military-oriented cities in the United States, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty soldiers, veterans, and military families. Therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, combat-related grief, and the dynamics of repeated deployment and reintegration are exceptionally well represented, and many practices are built specifically around the military community. Cape Fear Valley Health provides institutional mental health resources alongside a VA medical center that serves the surrounding region. Fayetteville's civilian therapy community serves a population that also navigates the economic and social challenges of a city heavily dependent on military spending and vulnerable to base realignment decisions.
