It’s not uncommon for people to feel overwhelmed by the stresses of life.

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is an umbrella term that covers various treatment approaches to help people deal with stress and improve mental well-being. The techniques and skills used in psychotherapy allow clients to develop the coping mechanisms they require to change their behavior for the better. There is a wide range of approaches to psychotherapy, but they are all based on the dialogue between the therapist and the client. Therapy can be one-on-one or in groups and has been proven to be effective for clients of all ages. Because of the effectiveness of this treatment type, it forms the foundation of many addictions and mental health treatment programs.
Some of the major approaches to psychotherapy include:
Some people seek psychotherapy because they have been struggling with addiction or mental illness for a long time. Others may be trying to cope with chronic illness and need support to stay sober. Still, others may need short-term support for situational problems that they are facing.
Here are some of the signs that you could benefit from psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy for addiction and psychotherapy for mental health fundamentally use the same principles. Still, each treatment program is based on an individual client’s needs, and no two programs are the same. To determine whether psychotherapy is right for your specific situation, it’s best to contact a treatment center and have them assess the best treatment program for you.
During your first sessions of psychotherapy, your therapist will gather information about your physical and mental health so that they can determine the best course of action to achieve your goals. It can take a few sessions before your therapist completely understands your history and your needs. Don’t hesitate to ask questions as well, as it’s the dialogue between therapist and client that is the point of psychotherapy. Your therapist is your guide through your recovery journey.
During the bulk of the psychotherapy sessions, your therapist will encourage you to talk about your thoughts and feelings and will ask questions to lead you toward realizing the root cause of your problems. It’s perfectly normal and natural to find it difficult to open up regarding difficult issues, and many people find that they have intense emotional reactions when discussing sensitive or painful subject matter. Your therapist is there to help you cope with these reactions, and a good therapist will offer a non-judgmental voice so that you can feel free to be completely open. Whether you have to cry, scream, or laugh, therapy is the best place to do it.
It’s important to remember that psychotherapy is effective for a wide range of people, but it depends on each individual’s willingness to participate and maximize its benefits. It is not necessarily a cure for addiction or mental health issues, but it does help manage the symptoms and change behaviors to improve the client’s well-being.
After we determine what treatment options work best for you, our patient advocates will assist you throughout the entire intake process from start to finish.
“I’d like to thank Courtney from the bottom of my heart. She helped me through the scary process of getting into treatment and then treated me with respect and compassion. The treatment process was scary, vulnerable and uncomfortable, but she did everything she could to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I have become an active member of the recovery community and could not have done it without the guidance and expertise Courtney provided throughout treatment.”
