Psychotherapy isn’t about your therapist telling you what to do. Its an active collaboration between you and your therapist so that you can work together to achieve your goals.
You and your therapist will explore your problems through talking.
For some people, being able to talk freely about a problem can bring relief. It can help you clarify what is troubling you and move on to problem solving. In some cases, your therapist may suggest involving others like a spouse or family members to help improve relationships and communication. Some people call this type of therapy couples therapy or family therapy.
Psychotherapy isn’t about your therapist telling you what to do. Its an active collaboration between you and your therapist so that you can work together to achieve your goals. Sometimes medication can be helpful in improving your symptoms, but psychotherapy paired with medication is the most effective way to promote recovery.
For many of you, a brief period of treatment is sufficient to resolve your current concerns. If you have a recurring or persistent problem, we are comfortable varying the intensity of treatment proportionate to your needs and desires.
It is not unusual for there to be an initial period of psychotherapy associated with the prescription and management of medication by a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner. A prescribing practitioner can continue psychiatric management and only involve a therapist again if a need arises.
