How does psychotherapy work?
Because everyone is unique, therapy is a different experience for each person. In general, the therapist helps a person work through the problems and issues rather than offering simplistic answers. While some problems may improve after just a few visits, others will require much more time. Sometimes psychological testing may be helpful in providing additional information.
Therapy is concerned with the psychological, social, spiritual, and biological aspects of human behavior. If there is a reason to suspect a significant biological problem, medication or other medical treatment may be recommended. Successful therapy works best when the therapist and client work together with an attitude of trust and motivation. Openness about oneself and one’s relationships, including the relationship with the therapist, is an important part of the therapeutic process.
Every therapy session is strictly confidential and no information is given to anyone without the client's written permission. I would be happy to discuss any questions about therapy and how the process works.
