What is psychotherapy?
The word psychotherapy is derived from the Greek words psyche, which means breath or spirit, and therapeia, which means healing or treatment. Psychotherapy, which is sometimes simply referred to as therapy or talk therapy, is the use of an interpersonal connection and recurrent interaction with a trained therapist, combined with evidenced based treatment modalities and techniques, to help improve a person's mental and emotional health and overall sense of well-being.
What can therapy do for us?
The main purpose and focus of psychotherapy is to help individuals, couples, and families explore themselves, understand their needs, develop mindfulness, and become aware of their inner strengths. Most importantly, psychotherapy can help with gaining insight into when and why we struggle with unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through collaborative work with a therapist, healing can be found in developing effective coping skills, challenging unhelpful beliefs, interrupting unhealthy behavioral or emotional patterns, and building a strong sense of self esteem and confidence.
