What is psychotherapy?
Therapy can help treat mental, emotional, physical, and behavioral issues. Concerns that may be discussed in therapy include, but are not limited to:
What to Expect During Individual Therapy
The first session of therapy often focuses on gathering information. Our therapists sit down with you to discuss your past physical, mental, and emotional health. It may take a few sessions for your therapist to have a proper understanding of your situation. And, from there we can address concerns and determine the best course of action.
Finding a therapist you are comfortable with, is vital to successful treatment. Your first session also gives you the opportunity to decide if the therapist’s style is a good fit for your needs. From there, we will discuss the type of therapy to be used, treatment goals, session length, and how many sessions are needed.
Accomplishing Mental Health Goals
Common goals of therapy can be to inspire change or improve quality of life. People may seek therapy for help with issues that are hard to face alone. It can increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem and help people overcome obstacles to the betterment of their well-being. People in therapy can learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals. Many find they enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware. Some people even go to ongoing therapy for self-growth.
Sessions may stir up intense emotions, and at first, it may be hard to talk about past experiences or current concerns. It is possible to become upset, angry, or sad during treatment, but the therapists at Wye Oak Therapeutics, will help our clients build confidence and become more comfortable addressing issues.
