Additional Information: At NYC CBTp we take a normalizing approach. We believe experiences and beliefs commonly regarded as symptoms of psychosis are often highly understandable reactions to adverse life events. We avoid using labels, unhelpful diagnosis or judgment. Our primary aim is to help you overcome your distress and achieve your goals, as well as develop ways of restoring autonomy and dignity, without shame or stigma. We work from a person centered, recovery oriented perspective, which means we do not believe that you are sick, wrong, or bad. We provide a supportive and accepting therapeutic environment for all, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation or gender.
