What is Therapy

Therapy is the process of solving emotional problems by talking with a person professionally trained to help people achieve a more fulfilling individual life, marital relationship, or family relationship. The process of change will, in many ways, be unique to your particular situation. Who you are as a person will help to determine how you go about changing your life. The process of change begins by first clearly defining the problem, and then discussing your thoughts and feelings, understanding the origin of the difficulty, and developing new skills and healthy attitudes about yourself and others. As the patient, you have the right to ask your therapist questions about his/her qualifications, background, and orientation. The most important factor in the success of therapy is good communication between therapist and patient. In some instances, talking about your difficulties may exacerbate your symptoms, however, over time, you should see an improvement. In addition, not all individuals benefit from therapy or working with a particular therapist. If at any time during the therapy, you have questions about whether or not the treatment is effective, feelings about something I have said or suggested, or need clarification of our goals, do not hesitate to bring this up in our session.
