Psychosis
Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Experiencing psychosis can be frightening for both the individual and their loved ones. Therapy helps build insight, safety and coping strategies while working alongside medical care when needed. We approach psychosis with compassion, not fear, focusing on dignity, recovery and hope.

Psychosis
Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
Psychosis can be disruptive to life. It is a symptom. In my experience, drug induced psychosis is very common and not often considered. I see this frequently as the result of substance use.

Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
Choosing the right therapist is an important part of the process. You want to feel understood, supported, and at ease when discussing your experiences. My approach is collaborative and structured—we work together to gain clarity, understand patterns, and develop practical strategies for meaningful and lasting change.
I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), evidence-based approaches that support emotional regulation, anxiety management, and improved relationships.

Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Restoring Your Anchor: Finding Safety, Clarity, and Groundedness
Experiencing psychosis—whether through distressing sensory perceptions, terrifying paranoia, or thoughts that feel completely detached from those around you—can leave you feeling deeply isolated, vulnerable, and frightened. When the mind’s filtering system becomes overwhelmed, distinguishing between internal distress and external reality feels like trying to navigate through a dense, disorienting fog.
Psychosis is not a personal failure or a loss of who you are; it is often the ultimate signal of a nervous system under severe overload, trauma, or neurobiological strain. The confusion, loss of control, and societal stigma surrounding these experiences can make reaching out feel overwhelming, leaving both you and your loved ones feeling exhausted and unsure of where to turn.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we provide a compassionate, rock-solid sanctuary where you are met with dignity, respect, and deep human understanding—never reduced to a label or diagnosis. Guided by our core values of empathy, integrity, and tailored care, we work collaboratively with you to re-establish a sense of physical safety, predictability, and emotional stability.
Through our heart-centered, integrative framework, we walk alongside you to:
Establish Somatic Grounding: Utilize gentle, body-centered practices to soothe intense nervous system distress, reduce sensory overload, and anchor you back into the present moment.
Process Underlying Distress Safely: Explore the emotional themes, trauma history, or severe stress drivers behind reactive states at a pace that honors your comfort and boundaries.
Build a Secure Support Network: Foster self-advocacy, strengthen communication with loved ones, and collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary care providers (including psychiatry) to sustain long-term balance, mental clarity, and genuine peace of mind.
You do not have to navigate the terrifying disorientation of psychosis alone. Healing begins by restoring your internal anchor—helping you step out of survival mode, rebuild trust in your perception, and reclaim command over your life and future.
