What Is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a process in which a trained professional enters a relationship with a patient for the purpose of helping the patient with symptoms of mental illness, behavioral problems or personal growth. The process involves the patient and therapist sitting in a room talking, which is why it is often called “talk therapy”.
Although the therapy relationship is not a friendship, you will still get the best results if you trust your therapist and feel comfortable with him or her. You should feel able to open up and be honest with your therapist. If you withhold information, you cheat yourself out of making real progress. We provide a safe, non-threatening environment in which you can enter into talk therapy with someone who will listen, in a non-judgmental fashion, and help you work through your range of emotions.
