WHAT IS PSYCHOTHERAPY?

It is where unconditional positive regard is used to establish a therapeutic alliance. It is an opportunity to learn skills you may not have had the benefit of learning or to make changes in your life that you have not been able to make on your own. It is where a therapeutic rapport is developed to learn trust which facilitates exploring underlying issues that contribute to symptoms. It is where a non-judgmental and objective safe space is created between you and your therapist solely focused on the changes you want to make.

 

HOW DO I KNOW I NEED THERAPY?
