Psychotherapy Q & A

How Does Psychotherapy Work?

Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment rooted in the relationship between you and your therapist. Often referred to as “talk therapy,” it centers on open dialogue in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Therapists are not just good listeners – they are highly-trained in identifying unproductive patterns of behavior and thought, how these patterns originated and what you can do to change them.

What Type of Problems Can Be Addressed with Psychotherapy?

We offer treatment for a wide range of concerns. Here are some of those most commonly treated at The Clinic:

 

  • Attention deficient hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Anxiety and panic disorders
  • Social anxiety
  • Relationship conflict
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Chronic disease management
  • Depression
  • Life transition
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Stress and burnout
  • Sexual problems
  • Substance abuse
  • Weight loss
  • Procrastination
  • Perfectionism

How Do I Know If I Need Psychotherapy?

Given that we all feel sad, stressed or anxious at various times, it can be difficult to know whether your experience warrants professional intervention. Unfortunately, too many people who would benefit from help do not seek treatment. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), only 46%-65% of those who suffer from moderate to severe mental health issues get treatment. Here are some questions to ask yourself when considering whether seeing a provider could be helpful:

 

  • Have you felt overwhelming sadness for a prolonged period?
  • Do you feel stuck? Have you not been able to move past your current problems, despite help from friends and family?
  • Is it difficult to concentrate and fulfill your day to day responsibilities?
  • Do you constantly worry?
  • Is your use of alcohol, drugs or other vices harming you or your relationships with others?
  • Do you notice that you keep getting into the same types of relationships…that don’t work?
  • Do you want to understand yourself on a deeper level?
