Schizophrenia Therapists in Bellevue, WA

If you're living with schizophrenia, I can help provide you with structured, supportive care. In our sessions, we'll focus on holistic and functional approaches to help you achieve stability. We'll also build routines, engage in thoughtful medication management and psychotherapy, and work toward improving emotional wellbeing. We'll also include your family if it's appropriate in order to create a strong support network.

We support individuals living with schizophrenia using Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Psychosis (DBTp) to build coping skills, emotional regulation, and stability. Therapy is paired with coordinated case management to help clients connect with psychiatry, medical care, and community supports, creating a collaborative treatment team focused on long-term wellness.

I support individuals with schizophrenia by helping them manage symptoms, improve functioning, and enhance quality of life. Together, we develop coping strategies, routines, and emotional regulation skills to navigate daily challenges. My approach emphasizes understanding, resilience, and building a supportive environment for growth and stability.

Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders can have profound effects on peoples' lives. However, therapy can be a very helpful addition to medication and other treatments. I have experience treating psychotic disorders using Psychodynamically-Oriented Supportive Therapy (POST) and other approaches. I have also published professional works on both hallucinations and delusions. Please note that I only do individual therapy (i.e., not couple's or family therapy).

Managing schizophrenia requires consistent, skillful use of antipsychotic medication and integrated care. Our practice specializes in long-term medication management for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, helping patients stabilize symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. We work closely with families, case managers, and therapy providers to support holistic care, improve adherence, and reduce hospitalizations.

Bellevue is across Lake Washington from Seattle and one of the most significant technology hubs in North America, home to a dense concentration of major tech employers and tens of thousands of tech workers whose industry creates well-documented mental health challenges—burnout, imposter syndrome, overwork, and the anxiety of high-stakes careers in a fiercely competitive sector. The city is extraordinarily diverse, with large Chinese, Indian, Korean, and other Asian communities whose cultural approaches to mental health stigma and help-seeking create a more complex picture of who seeks therapy and how. One of the country's most expensive housing markets adds significant financial stress alongside the professional pressures of tech employment, and many residents navigate both simultaneously. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Bellevue's affluent population, with many bilingual therapists serving the large immigrant professional community; telehealth has expanded access for those with demanding schedules.
