What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a form of treatment that involves talking with a trained professional to address emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Through various therapeutic techniques, individuals can gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping them understand the root causes of their challenges. Psychotherapy is typically a collaborative process between the individual and the therapist, with the goal of fostering self-awareness, personal growth, and improved mental well-being.

The goal-oriented approach focuses on identifying specific problems and working toward measurable goals through structured interventions.

Styles

Multiple therapeutic techniques are integrated into practice. Active Listening involves giving full attention to the individual, using verbal and nonverbal cues to show understanding and engagement. Paraphrasing helps clarify and reflect back the individual’s thoughts, ensuring they feel heard. Empathy fosters a deep emotional connection by validating the individual’s feelings and demonstrating genuine understanding of their experiences. Motivational Interviewing builds on these skills by guiding individuals to explore their ambivalence, and strengthen their motivation for change.
