But I am also trained in multiple evidenced-based approaches for Schizophrenia and Psychosis.
If Depression, Past Traumas, and Anxiety are lowering the quality of your life, I would love to help. My approach of treatment focuses more on Understanding and Exploration in a safe and accepting environment, rather than that old "fix a broken person" model. Together, we can work towards insight and growth, which I believe in return will increase the quality of your relationships and life. I feel if we can widen our spectrum of thinking, it can widen our spectrum of feeling, which then widens our spectrum of choosing and reacting to the perpetual challenges of this very uncertain and demanding world.

We help moms at every stage who may be struggling with infertility, miscarriage, grief and loss, pregnancy termination, past sexual abuse, body image, pregnancy and birth complications, adoptions, surrogacy, birth trauma, NICU babies, perinatal anxiety/depression/OCD/psychosis, breastfeeding issues, the transition to parenthood, fear of future births & more.
Are you fearful about pregnancy, birth or motherhood? Is this season of motherhood not what you envisioned? Are you struggling to keep it together as a mom? *You are not alone* Maternal Minds Counseling can help. The truth is that 50-80% of women experience the baby blues and 1 out of 5 experience a mood or anxiety disturbance in the perinatal period (before or after pregnancy). Sometimes planning, expecting, new or experienced moms need extra support through this transition. The therapists at Maternal Minds treat women and families from preconception through parenting.

Psychosis Therapists

What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?

The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?

People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?

Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?

It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
