What is psychotherapy?

During psychotherapy, you work with a trained mental health professional to explore and address psychological, emotional, and behavioral challenges. 

Through meaningful conversations, psychotherapy aims to increase self-awareness, enhance coping skills, improve interpersonal relationships, and promote overall mental wellness. Psychotherapy can be held as one-on-one, couple, family, or group sessions.
