What Is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy (often called “talk therapy”) is a collaborative process between you and your mental health provider. Through structured conversation and evidence-based techniques, psychotherapy can help you:
- Identify patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress
- Build coping strategies for stress, anxiety, or mood shifts
- Improve relationships and communication
- Strengthen emotional resilience and problem-solving skills
Our team uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrative psychotherapy, adapting sessions to each individual’s goals and needs.
