Psychosis
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing psychosis, you may feel frightened, confused, or unsure of what is real. You might notice changes in perception, unusual thoughts, hearing or seeing things others do not, or difficulty organizing your thinking. These experiences can feel isolating and overwhelming, and you may worry about their implications for your future.
At Selah Counselling, we approach psychosis with calm, clinical care, and compassion. Our first priority is safety and stabilization. We collaborate with medical providers when appropriate, as medication and psychiatric support are often essential components of treatment. In therapy, we focus on grounding skills, strengthening reality testing, reducing stressors, and building consistent routines that support stability. We also help you process the emotional impact of these experiences so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence. With proper support and ongoing care, many people experience meaningful improvement and restored functioning.

Psychosis
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
When past trauma won't stay in the past—when it shows up as hypervigilance, emotional flooding, difficulty focusing, neglecting yourself, or suspicious thoughts that isolate you—you're not losing your mind. You're experiencing post-traumatic stress, and these symptoms are your nervous system's attempt to keep you safe from threats that may no longer exist. I understand that life circumstances and trauma have rewired how you experience the world. Together, we'll acknowledge what happened to you, validate its impact, and gently help your body and mind recognize that survival mode doesn't have to be permanent. Safety, calm, and trust can be rebuilt. You're not alone anymore.

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.

Psychosis
Andrea Town
Occupational Therapist, MScOT, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Experiences of psychosis, including unusual beliefs, hearing voices, or shifts in how reality feels, can be frightening and isolating, both during an episode and in the long aftermath. In Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer supportive psychotherapy for adults with a history of psychosis who are stable and connected to a psychiatrist or physician for medication management. Drawing from CBT for psychosis informed principles, Gestalt, mindfulness, and compassion focused approaches, we work on making meaning of your experiences, reducing distress, strengthening coping, and reconnecting with the life you want to be living.
