Schizophrenia Spectrum Counseling in Colorado

Living with a condition on the schizophrenia spectrum, or loving someone who is, brings real challenges that shouldn't have to be faced without support. Overcomers Counseling offers coordinated, compassionate care across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Face This Alone

Schizophrenia spectrum conditions affect thinking, perception, and daily functioning in ways that can feel isolating, both for the individual and their family. Stigma often makes it harder to reach out for help. Our therapists provide a space free of judgment, working alongside psychiatric care to support stability and quality of life.

How Counseling Fits Into Care

Therapy for schizophrenia spectrum conditions often focuses on coping skills, managing symptoms day to day, processing the emotional impact of the diagnosis, improving relationships and communication, and supporting family members in understanding and responding effectively. Therapy works best alongside consistent psychiatric and medication support.

How Our Team Helps

Our providers coordinate closely with our psychiatry team to align therapy and medication management, while also offering family support to help loved ones build a healthy, understanding home environment. For clients who want it, we offer faith-integrated counseling as part of a holistic support plan.

What is the goal of counseling for schizophrenia?

Living with schizophrenia 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.

What are some common challenges that people with schizophrenia face?

Living with schizophrenia can feel like you are on an unpaved road. It can be challenging and unpredictable. You may struggle with disorganized thoughts, hallucinations, or delusions, and it can feel overwhelming. We understand these challenges. We can work together to help you build a set of tools to create a sense of control and empowerment in your life, so you can continue to move forward with confidence.

How can a person with schizophrenia live a normal life?

Yes! With the right support, it is absolutely possible to live a fulfilling life with schizophrenia. 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.

What is the difference between schizophrenia and psychosis?

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.

Barb is incredibly kind and patient. She kept the sessions productive and honest. She made me feel heard and helped with problem-solving. Having her as my therapist for the past several years was vital for my personal growth. I highly recommend her services and would happily return as a client if my schedule ever opens back up.

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
