3 What is Therapy and Where do I find a Therapist?.jpg

Therapy, sometimes called counseling, is the process of meeting with a licensed therapist to address behavior patterns, negative perceptions, past or current trauma, grief, relationship issues, stressful times, and even somatic responses (sensations in the body).

Therapists provide clients/patients with a confidential, non-judgmental perspective in a supportive environment where the client(s) determines the content that is discussed in sessions. Engaging in therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible.

Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, improve your relationships, and resolve challenges. Whether in individual, couples, group, or family therapy, you will establish your goals for therapy and work with your therapist to determine a game plan to achieve them.
