Psychotic Disorder Counseling in Colorado

Experiencing symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking can be frightening — both for the person going through it and for the people who love them. You shouldn't have to face that fear alone. Overcomers Counseling offers supportive, coordinated care for individuals living with psychotic disorders across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Face This Alone

A psychotic disorder diagnosis can feel isolating, confusing, and stigmatized, but you and your family deserve support that treats your experience with dignity and care. Our therapists work alongside our psychiatry team to provide coordinated support, understanding that stability often comes through a combination of medication management, therapy, and a strong support system.

Recognizing the Signs

Symptoms of psychotic disorders can include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech or thinking, withdrawal from relationships, and difficulty distinguishing what's real from what isn't. Family members often notice changes in behavior, mood, or functioning before the person themselves does. Early support can make a meaningful difference.

How Our Team Helps

Our providers offer individual therapy focused on coping skills, stability, and quality of life, alongside close coordination with our psychiatry and medication management team. We also support family members in understanding the condition and building a healthy, supportive environment at home. For clients who want it, we offer faith-integrated counseling.

What is the goal of counseling for psychotic disorders?

Living with a psychotic disorder can feel like you’re in a movie with a strange script and a set of rules that no one else can see. The goal of counseling isn’t to tell you that your reality isn’t real; it's to help you find your footing in a world that can feel confusing and overwhelming. We work together to help you understand your thoughts and feelings, build a sense of self, and find a sense of peace and security. We believe in your capacity to live a full life, and we are here to help you get there.

How can counseling help me with my hallucinations or delusions?

Hallucinations and delusions can feel incredibly real and can be terrifying. Counseling provides a safe, supportive space for you to explore what is happening to you. We'll help you understand what's real and what's not, and we’ll give you a toolkit of strategies to manage your symptoms. We believe that by understanding the "why," you can make better choices and find a new way to live. We are here to help you every step of the way.

What's the difference between psychosis and schizophrenia?

Psychosis is a symptom, like a fever. It’s a temporary state where a person loses touch with reality. Schizophrenia is a chronic disease that involves episodes of psychosis. Think of it this way: everyone gets a fever sometimes, but a fever isn't always a sign of a chronic illness. We'll help you understand your unique experience and develop a plan to take control.

Can a person with a psychotic disorder live a normal life?

Yes! With the right support, it is absolutely possible to live a fulfilling life with a psychotic disorder. The journey is challenging, but you can learn to manage your symptoms and find a sense of peace. The most effective treatment is a comprehensive approach that includes medication and counseling. We believe in your capacity to live a full and meaningful life, and we're here to help you every step of the way.

Barb is incredibly kind and patient. She kept the sessions productive and honest. She made me feel heard and helped with problem-solving.

Hilary Helkenn, PMHNP-BC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
