Schizophrenia Therapists in Fayetteville, NC

Living with schizophrenia can be overwhelming for both individuals and families. We provide supportive therapy to help clients better understand symptoms, build coping strategies, strengthen daily functioning, and improve quality of life.

My practice offers comprehensive treatment for schizophrenia, focusing on medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive therapy. I work to enhance functioning, reduce symptoms, and empower patients to live fulfilling lives.

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.

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 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.

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.
