Psychotherapy is the practice of helping people that are having difficulties in their life understanding their core issues and learning coping mechanisms in order to live a more peaceful existence.

Signs that you may need to consider therapy include; symptoms of depression and anxiety, acute stress reaction, inability to sleep, inability to focus, inability to feel good about anything. Any one of these type of behaviors could benefit from some type of psychotherapy.

Traditionally counseling can be done by somebody at a Masters level however psychotherapy usually indicates that you are a PhD level psychologist. Counseling can also be done by a lot of different educational backgrounds and they’re not always PhD in clinical psychology.

Typical psychotherapy sessions last for 60 to 80 minutes on your initial consult and then 50 minutes on your follow-up consults.

Therapy sessions are best attended for usually weekly, or biweekly, and even monthly.
