Psychosis Treatment and Psychiatric Care
Understanding Psychosis
Psychosis is a condition that affects how your brain processes information, causing changes in how you perceive reality. During a psychotic episode, you may experience hallucinations, such as hearing voices or seeing things that others do not see. You may also have delusions, which are strong beliefs that are not based in reality. These symptoms can make it difficult to think clearly, manage emotions, and carry out daily activities.
Psychosis is not a diagnosis on its own. It is a symptom that can occur with several mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, and other psychiatric disorders. In some cases, psychosis can also be triggered by substance use, extreme stress, or medical conditions.
How We Can Help

Through secure telehealth appointments, you can receive the same quality of care you would get in person, all from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Our approach to psychosis treatment is personalized to your specific needs. Treatment typically includes a thorough psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms and their causes. Based on this assessment, your provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan that may include medication management, therapy, or a combination of both.
What to Expect from Psychosis Treatment
Your first appointment will be a comprehensive evaluation where your provider listens to your concerns, reviews your medical and psychiatric history, and discusses your symptoms in detail. This conversation helps us understand what you are experiencing and determine the most effective treatment approach.
If medication is recommended, your provider will explain the options, including how each medication works and what to expect. We monitor your progress closely through regular follow-up appointments and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
