Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that can help individuals experiencing mental health and life challenges. It is aimed to help relieve emotional distress and to bring awareness to signs and symptoms connected to mental health challenges as well as identify the psychological root causes of one’s condition. The goal of psychotherapy is to help the client improve the overall quality of their life.
Psychotherapy can support individuals, couples, and families coping with stressful life events, navigating the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss such as the death of a loved one; and specific mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

Your first session will possibly feel like a “getting to know you” experience. The therapist will review and confirm that all consents and authorization forms have been completed, will provide an overview of what to expect regarding the therapy experience including, length of sessions and will answer any questions the client may have regarding therapeutic approach and what to expect with therapy. There will be questions asked by your therapist to gather information about what experiences, symptoms, and challenges have led you to therapy. Most importantly, the first session is really to determine that experience and therapeutic relationship is a good fit for the client. You and the therapy will also chat about your personal goals for therapy, your expectations and readiness to engage in treatment.
