Psychosis Therapists in Greensboro, NC

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the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.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!

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.

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).

Rocker Health has experienced and competent staff to deal with these issues.

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.

Greensboro is home to multiple universities — including the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina A&T State University, and Guilford College — creating significant student mental health demand and a historically grounded HBCU community with deep connections to the civil rights movement. The city's textile and furniture manufacturing heritage has given way to healthcare, education, and distribution as primary economic drivers, and therapists frequently address occupational transitions and the identity challenges of a post-industrial workforce. Cone Health provides major institutional mental health resources, alongside a private practice community serving the Fisher Park and Irving Park neighborhoods. Greensboro's significant Vietnamese, Korean, and Latino communities drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
