What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, is a treatment for people facing life challenges or mental health disorders.

Your therapist guides the conversation, encouraging you to share your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences. They also give you insight and information, teach you new skills, and recommend ways to overcome your challenges.

You can achieve many goals through psychotherapy, from navigating life transitions, boosting self-esteem, and improving your social or communication skills, to changing negative thoughts and learning to manage serious mental health conditions.

During psychotherapy, you better understand your mental health challenges and how to manage them, giving you the strength and power to overcome and improve your life.

When would I need psychotherapy?

You may need psychotherapy after experiencing a traumatic event, when you need help managing anger or other strong emotions, or when you’re overwhelmed with a major life decision or transition.

Couples often seek psychotherapy for help resolving disagreements. Parents benefit from therapy if their child or partner has emotional or behavioral problems. And children and teens often need psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, peer pressure, bullying, and developmental disorders.

Psychotherapy is also the primary treatment for mental health disorders, including:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Schizophrenia
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Most people discover that psychotherapy dramatically improves their mental health and well-being no matter what challenges they face.

What type of psychotherapy might I receive?

The Treo Care team is highly trained and qualified to provide numerous therapeutic techniques. They recommend the type they believe works best for your mental health disorder, meets your goals, and fits your personality.

Some people need structured therapy to explore connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Others need psychotherapy that’s more like an open-ended conversation so that they can talk about their experiences.

You may want to face fears and delve into emotions or skip emotions and seek proactive steps toward solving a specific problem.

You can schedule individual, couples, or family psychotherapy, depending on your challenges and the best way to resolve them.

No matter which type of psychotherapy works for you, you learn coping skills, how to change unhealthy behaviors, reduce stress, and enjoy a full life despite having a mental health disorder.
