What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy promotes awareness, especially awareness of one's emotions and relationship patterns. The sources of persistent mental and emotional pain are investigated within a respectful therapeutic relationship that evolves over time. Often people find that as they understand their experiences more deeply, they discover a greater range of choices available to them.
Psychotherapy offers the opportunity for people to get help understanding and working with their emotional pain and internal conflicts. It also helps people develop their personal strengths which may lie hidden within the problems or discomfort of their current experience.
Psychotherapy is effective in addressing a broad range of mental and emotional health concerns such as depression and anxiety; loneliness; feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy; feelings of being out of control, overly stressed, or finding little satisfaction in life.
People who are struggling with family issues, relationships, or self care may also find therapy of value. Likewise, therapy can be helpful for both adults and children during times of transition, stress, loss, and grief.
