Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a treatment that helps people understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The purpose of psychotherapy is to:

1. Address Mental Health Challenges: Help with issues like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or relationship problems.
2. Develop Coping Skills: Teach strategies to manage emotions, handle stress, and improve decision-making.
3. Promote Self-Awareness: Explore thoughts and feelings to better understand oneself and patterns in behavior.
4. Support Personal Growth: Improve relationships, build self-esteem, and create healthier habits.
5. Enhance Overall Well-Being: Work toward a happier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.

Psychotherapy provides a safe, confidential space where you collaborate with a trained therapist to work on your goals and make positive behavioral changes. Psychotherapists can include psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and a variety of other mental health providers. Psychotherapy often occurs once per week; however, the frequency of appointments and modality of psychotherapy can be tailored to the individual patient’s needs.
