Psychotherapy is a helpful, guided, healing process of any wounds, sufferings that have been affecting you, you feeling revived again, feeling grounded with being solid mentally and emotionally, gaining self-control, living in the present moment and appreciate the present moment, gaining better self-awareness. Cognitive-Behavioral therapy is the main treatment modality practiced, helping you to reconstruct the negative thinking to more rational, positive thoughts to then have positive feelings and learn new, positive behaviors. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, mood problems, substance abuse problems, and so forth.

In today’s challenging times, it can often feel overwhelming to motivate yourself to face life, complete tasks or even get out of bed. Taking the first step, although challenging, can be the opportunity that you need towards finding the answers to internal questions, healing past and present pain, finding strategies for coping, learning who you are, where you want to go, and ultimately finding the courage to embrace your true self.

Reality Therapy

Is reality therapy evidence-based?

Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.

How long does reality therapy last?

Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.

Does reality therapy work?

Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviors. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.

What are the limitations of reality therapy?

This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
