Psychosis Therapists in Winston-Salem, NC

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 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.

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

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).

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.

Winston-Salem is home to Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — one of the most significant academic medical centers in the Southeast — and this concentration of medical training and research deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of its mental health clinical community. The city's tobacco heritage — long anchored by R.J. Reynolds, which remains headquartered in the city — has given way to a growing medical, technology, and arts economy, and therapists frequently work with the identity transitions of a workforce navigating this shift. The city has a large Black community with deep historical roots in the Piedmont Triad, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and intergenerational resilience are well represented. Winston-Salem's arts and innovation culture supports strong demand for therapists experienced with creative identity and career-related stress.
