Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Psychosis refers to a collection of symptoms that affect the mind, where there has been some loss of contact with reality. During an episode of psychosis, a person's thoughts and perceptions are disrupted and they may have difficulty recognizing what is real and what is not. This can create anxiety when the person stabilizes.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Experiences involving psychosis can feel frightening, confusing, isolating, or deeply misunderstood — both for the person experiencing them and for the people who care about them.
My background in acute mental health, hospital settings, and broader mental health care allows me to approach psychosis with compassion, realism, and respect. I understand that these experiences are often far more complex than labels alone and may involve trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system overwhelm, mood disorders, or other mental health factors.
My approach focuses on grounding, safety, emotional support, practical coping strategies, and helping you better understand what is happening while working collaboratively with appropriate medical care when needed. Together, we focus on reducing fear and shame, strengthening stability, and supporting you in ways that feel respectful, personalized, and workable.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
As scary as it sounds, psychosis is not actually a thing. It is a label. Around 3 out of every 100 young people will experience a psychotic episode. Most make a full recovery from the experience. Psychosis can happen to anyone. An episode of psychosis is treatable, and it is possible to recover. It is often due to extreme stress and trauma which at one point or another we all experience. through emotionally focused therapy and mindfulness and often a referral for medication (if necessary) I will help regulate your stress response.

Vaughan is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities and part of the Greater Toronto Area's northern expansion, with a large Italian-Canadian community alongside growing South Asian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern populations creating a diverse and evolving therapy demand. The city's relative newness as a major population centre means its private therapy infrastructure is still developing, and many residents access care in Toronto or through telehealth. Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital — one of Canada's newest major hospitals — provides institutional resources, and the broader GTA ecosystem of therapists is accessible for those willing to travel or use online platforms. Vaughan's affluent suburban character means therapy is financially accessible for many, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
