Schizophrenia Therapists in Portland, OR

I have experience supporting clients with experiences of altered perception, including hallucinations and voice hearing. Therapy focuses on reducing distress and supporting functioning without invalidation. I take a collaborative, grounded approach that centers safety, meaning-making, and stability.

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.

This component assist with supporting symptom management, emotional regulation, coping strategies, and skills to enhance daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
