What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a way to overcome problematic thoughts or behaviours. Psychotherapy addresses personal difficulties. It allows an individual, family, couple, or group to talk openly and confidentially about their concerns and feelings with a trained professional. Almost all types of psychotherapy involve developing a therapeutic relationship, communicating and creating a dialogue, and working to overcome problematic thoughts, feelings or behaviours. Psychotherapy aims to increase an individual's sense of wellbeing and relationships. Psychotherapists are sensitive to the client's needs and employ a wide range of skills to facilitate the client's goals. http://www.psychotherapyontario.org
About Psychotherapists
Individuals who are licensed to practice psychotherapy are called Registered Psychotherapists, or they may come from related disciplines such as psychiatry, psychology, or social work. Psychotherapists work from the premise that mental and emotional health issues and crises are opportunities for growth and change. This method differs from the traditional medical model that approaches these issues and crises as illnesses that need to be treated. Psychotherapists generally don’t give advice or suggest solutions. Instead, they focus on building safe and trusting relationships with their clients so together they can reframe their life experiences, leading to a fuller understanding of themselves and their feelings. This process gives clients an active role and sense of purpose in therapy. http://www.psychotherapyontario.org
