Therapy is a process of enlisting trained professionals to assist people in solving personal problems and leading more satisfying and meaningful lives. Through self-discovery in therapy, people are able to identify problems and stressors that are barriers to a fulfilling life, and to gain skills and confidence to overcome them.
Restoration of hope, achievement of well-being, understanding of personal goals and values, and improvement of relationships are common outcomes. Therapy is optimally structured to achieve these goals with personal needs and characteristics in mind, leading to a short-term or long-term approach, depending on the problem.
