Understanding Psychotic Disorders: Psychotic disorders involve a disruption in a person's thoughts and perceptions, making it difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is not. Symptoms can include hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) and delusions (strong beliefs not based in reality). These conditions can significantly impact a person's ability to function in daily life. Early identification and comprehensive treatment are vital for managing symptoms and promoting recovery [1]. For individuals or families seeking psychotic disorder treatment, our team provides dedicated care.
We offer specialized care for psychotic disorders, including:
Our Approach: Treatment typically involves a combination of medication management, individual and group psychotherapy, family support and education, and supported employment/education services to help individuals manage symptoms, improve daily functioning, and enhance their quality of life [8]. Our clinic is a resource for schizophrenia treatment in MA and related conditions.

I am a bilingual Puerto Rican therapist and Coordinator Supervisor with a deep commitment to community well-being. With four years in mental health and over ten years as a Community Coordinator, my career has been dedicated to serving diverse populations. My work is rooted in my experience as a mental health counselor, where I developed a deep passion for advocating and creating meaningful connections between communities in need and available services. I am committed to building robust systems with strong foundations—aimed not only at supporting individuals today but also at shaping a healthier, more resilient future for generations to come.
I am a Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, trained in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. I completed my MD at Yale School of Medicine, my PhD at Yale, Oxford University, and the National Institutes of Health, and my residency and fellowship training in the Yale Department of Psychiatry and Yale Child Study Center. I grew up in Southern New England, and consider this home. I aim to provide evidence-based, person-centered care, informed by the latest understandings in psychiatric research, and with compassion and optimism.
