Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy, which helps people with mental health issues and facing emotional difficulties. It can help in dealing with day to today hurdles, the impact of trauma, divorce, and breakups, depression and anxiety, sleep-related issues, sexual issues. It controls troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing. There are various types of psychotherapy for different issues.

From all of those I practice a few therapies at my place:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful in treating a variety of disorders, including depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and eating disorders. For example, CBT can help a person with depression recognize and change negative thought patterns or behaviors that are contributing to the depression.

Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a short-term form of treatment. It helps patients understand underlying interpersonal issues that are troublesome, like unresolved grief, changes in social or work roles, conflicts with significant others, and problems relating to others. It can help people learn healthy ways to express emotions and ways to improve communication and how they relate to others. It is most often used to treat depression.

Psychoanalysis is a more intensive form of psychodynamic therapy. Sessions are typically conducted three or more times a week.

Supportive therapy uses guidance and encouragement to help patients develop their own resources. It helps build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, strengthen coping mechanisms, and improve social and community functioning. Supportive psychotherapy helps patients deal with issues related to their mental health conditions which in turn affect the rest of their lives.
