Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that can help individuals experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Therapy can help not only alleviate symptoms, but also, certain types of therapies can help identify the psychological root causes of one’s condition so a person can function better and have enhanced emotional well-being and healing.
Conditions that can be helped by therapy include coping with stressful life events, 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. Therapy may be conducted in an individual, family, couple, or group setting, and can help both children and adults.
