Psychotherapy is a process in which we discuss a variety of issues, events, experiences, and memories for the purpose of creating positive change so you can experience your life more fully. It provides you with an opportunity to better and more deeply understand yourself and your relationship with others, as well as any problems or difficulties you may be experiencing. Psychotherapy is a collaborated effort between client and therapist. Progress and success may vary depending upon the particular problems or issues being addressed, as well as many other factors.
Participating in therapy may result in a number of benefits to you, including, but not limited to, reduced stress and anxiety, a decrease in negative and unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, improved interpersonal relationships, increased comfort in social, work, and family settings, increased capacity for intimacy, and increased self-confidence. Such benefits may also require substantial effort on your part, including an active participation in the therapeutic process, honesty and a willingness to consider alternative feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. If you have any questions about whether therapy is for you, please contact me for a free 15-minute consultation phone session.
