Schizophrenia
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include schizophrenia therapy, schizoaffective disorder support, psychotic spectrum disorders, symptom management, emotional regulation, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ living with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, including those navigating hallucinations, delusions, mood symptoms, and challenges in daily functioning. Many clients come to therapy feeling isolated, misunderstood, or uncertain about how to manage their symptoms while maintaining relationships, work, and independence. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed, supporting clients in developing coping strategies, enhancing insight, and improving quality of life. Therapy is a safe space to process experiences, build stability, and strengthen self-confidence while coordinating care with psychiatrists or other providers as needed.

Schizophrenia
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
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the majority of these individuals are much more likely to be victims of violence or prone to be taken advantage of and withdrawn from others.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!
