Psychotherapy is a collaborative task, where the patient takes an active role in working toward goals. A therapist helps with mental, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral difficulties. Psychotherapy is to help a person reach better understanding of problems and gain increased self-awareness. It's also intended to work toward improving identified difficulties, offer support in problem solving, provide symptom relief, and improve coping in daily living. My experience involves working with divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, parenting, chronic//terminal illness, grief/loss, abuse/neglect, and all ages of delinquent behaviors.
