Psychotherapy is a general term used by professionals who are trained to treat people with emotional problems. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am trained to view behavior from a social and relational context. Not only will we work together to identify problems impacting you, talk about your feelings, thoughts and behaviors, we will also consider those issues in context of relationships. Is the problem negatively impacting your relationships? Are your relationships the source of your problems?
Psychotherapy is helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly individualized care. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages, but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of interpretation or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, individual psychotherapy is worth your consideration.
