Psychotherapy


What is Psychotherapy? Psychotherapy (also known as “talk therapy”) helps people with a variety of mental and emotional issues to find solutions to issues they are experiencing.
Psychotherapy is a great way to help with personal issues, like depression, anxiety, stress-related problems, etc. so you can function better and live a happier and healthier life. 
For example, it may benefit someone who:
  • has overwhelming feelings of sadness or helplessness
  • feels anxious most of the time
  • has difficulty facing everyday challenges or focusing on work or studies
  • is using drugs or alcohol in a way that is not healthful
  • is at risk of harming themselves or others
  • feels that their situation will never improve, despite receiving help from friends and family
  • has experienced an abusive situation
  • has a mental health condition, such as schizophrenia, that affects their daily life
  • feels stuck
Some people attend psychotherapy after a doctor recommends it, but many seek help independently.
