PSYCHOTHERAPY

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a form of therapy that’s designed to help you regain control of your life if you’re suffering from a mental health disorder or emotional difficulty. With the support of your therapist, you’ll explore your emotions, behaviors, experiences, and relationships. As you gain deeper insight, you’ll see patterns of behavior and ways of interacting that negatively influence your life.

During psychotherapy, you’ll learn new skills — new ways of thinking, behaving, and understanding — that increase your self-confidence and allow you to overcome your challenges so you can move forward into a satisfying and thriving life.

How long does psychotherapy last?

There’s no blanket answer to this question as each person is different. The therapists at the Therapy Studio tailor a psychotherapy program to each of their patients and work diligently until a resolution is found. However many sessions, the clinicians work with you until you feel comfortable making your way through the world again.

To explore the world of psychotherapy further, call the office or request a consultation using the online scheduling tool.

What mental health problems benefit from psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy supports you through a difficult period or a stressful event, such as a divorce, loss of a job, or other career problems. You may have a history of unsuccessful relationships, struggle with bursts of anger, or need to change other unsatisfying aspects of your life. Any emotional or behavioral problem that interferes with your life can benefit from psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy fills a central role in your treatment for mental health disorders. Even if you take medications to alleviate your symptoms, your long-term success improves when you combine medication with psychotherapy.

What type of psychotherapy might I receive?

The therapists at Therapy Studio Counseling Center have years of training and experience in many therapeutic techniques. They recommend the approach that works best for your personal needs and goals.

Some types of psychotherapy follow a precise structure, while others resemble a conversation that’s guided by your therapist using techniques like free association and asking questions that target your concerns.

A few types of psychotherapy frequently used by the team at Therapy Studio Counseling Center include:

Cognitive therapy: This type of therapy is designed to put an end to negative thinking patterns and replace them with more productive thoughts that help you function better.
Interpersonal therapy: This is a more targeted form of psychotherapy in which your therapist works with you to help you understand how underlying issues, like unresolved grief, can have an impact on your life and your relationships.
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): Helpful for those who suffer from emotional dysregulation or bipolar disorder, DBT works by regulating your emotions and learning new coping skills.
Psychodynamic therapy: This form of psychotherapy is based on the notion that early childhood experience may impact your behavior as an adult.

While these therapies represent the most commonly used, the mental health care providers at The Therapy Studio are also trained in:

Acceptance and commitment therapy
Gestalt therapy
Compassion-focused therapy
Mindfulness
Solution-focused therapy
Motivational interviewing
Positive psychology
