Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is the practice of spending time with a psychological professional trained to help diagnose and treat mental and emotional problems. Therapy can take various forms--cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or a combination of these--but at the center of each is the caring relationship between a mental health professional and a patient.
