Schizophrenia Therapists in Seattle, WA

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.

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.

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.

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).

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
