Schizophrenia Therapists in Winston-Salem, NC

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.
