Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
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the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.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!

Schizophrenia
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Losing touch with reality is more complicated than just trying to realign oneself with the external environment. To understand this experience, one must work to appreciate the subjective realities that illuminate these challenges.

Wilmington is a coastal North Carolina city that has grown significantly as a retirement destination, university community (UNC Wilmington), and—somewhat unexpectedly—a major film and television production hub, with Screen Gems Studios making Wilmington one of the East Coast's most active filming locations and earning it the nickname 'Wilmywood.' The mental health landscape reflects this mix: retiree adjustment and aging concerns, student well-being needs at UNCW, and the particular stresses of the creative and entertainment industry workforce. Hurricane Florence and other significant storms have left a legacy of disaster-related anxiety and trauma for coastal residents, and climate-related worry about storm intensity and sea level rise is a growing theme in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns include hurricane trauma and climate anxiety, retiree adjustment, student mental health, creative industry stress, and the identity challenges of a city navigating rapid population growth and a changing economic character.
