Individual Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy involves you and your psychologist working together to understand psychological concerns and to come up with plans and strategies to address those concerns.  Psychotherapy focuses on thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Therapy can help patients gain new understanding of problems, such as anxiety or mood concerns, and to learn new ways of coping with and solving these problems. Therapy can help individuals develop new skills and to change behavior patterns. Therapy can contribute to improved ability to cope with stress and difficult situations and can increase understanding of self and others.
