Therapy & Support for Psychosis in Monmouth County, NJ

Experiencing a break from reality—whether through hearing things others don't, seeing things differently, or holding onto beliefs that feel intensely real to you but confusing to others—can be an incredibly isolating and frightening experience. For family members watching a loved one go through this, it can feel equally overwhelming.

We want you to know that experiencing psychosis does not mean you are broken, and it does not define who you are. 

At LEAF by Dr. Dana Spada Psychotherapy, we provide a highly secure, private, and deeply respectful environment. We are here to help you navigate these altered states, find grounding, and rebuild a sense of safety in your own mind.

Psychosis is a symptom, not a personal failing. It can be triggered by severe stress, trauma, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, or major life disruptions. Our licensed clinicians hold advanced training in providing grounding support for:

• Auditory & Visual Hallucinations: Navigating the distress or confusion of hearing voices or seeing things that others cannot perceive.
• Delusions & Paranoia: Coping with intense, unshakable beliefs that others are trying to harm you, or that the world is unsafe.
• Disorganized Thinking: Helping to gently organize thoughts when your mind feels chaotic, clouded, or difficult to express.
• The Emotional Aftermath: Healing the depression, exhaustion, and anxiety that often follow an acute psychotic episode.

We do not believe in a sterile, rigidly clinical approach to severe mental health concerns. Because we operate as a boutique, concierge practice, we treat the human being in front of us with absolute dignity, empathy, and respect. We will collaborate closely with you, your loved ones, and your medical providers (if applicable) to ensure a holistic circle of care.

Our goal in therapy is to help you stay grounded in the present moment. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp) to help reduce the distress caused by hallucinations, Somatic practices to calm the nervous system, and reality-testing strategies that empower you without making you feel judged or dismissed.
