Schizophrenia Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

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the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.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

Adriana has years of experience working with the Assertive Community Treatment Team which provides support to individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Adriana utilizes CBT for psychosis which can help individuals recognize and challenge delusions or hallucinations while fostering better coping skills for stress and social situations. Adriana can also support emotional regulation, help build stronger relationships, encourage adherence to treatment plans, and create a foundation for improved stability and quality of life.

Cincinnati sits at the intersection of the Midwest and Appalachia, and therapists here frequently address addiction, economic stress, and intergenerational trauma rooted in the region's opioid crisis. The city has a strong Catholic and faith community, and many therapists offer spiritually sensitive approaches alongside evidence-based care. University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, complemented by a growing network of private practitioners across Hyde Park, Mount Lookout, and Oakley. Cincinnati's position as a bi-state metro also means therapists often serve clients from across the Kentucky border.
