What You Can Expect From Psychotherapy

Have you thought about trying psychotherapy but have your doubts? Psychotherapy can be a frightening new experience for many people, but it can be very rewarding. Knowing what psychotherapy entails can help you make a mindful decision on whether it is right for you or not. 

Psychotherapy sessions and the length of sessions can differ among everything, since every individual comes in with unique experiences. Some people may need a few sessions while others may be in psychotherapy for months. Each session is personalized to your experiences and any issues you want to solve, while following a structured process.

Who Does Psychotherapy Benefit?

Psychotherapy can benefit many people in a variety of different situations and goals they want to achieve. For example, if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, couple or family conflicts, then psychotherapy sessions can be beneficial to help you solve and ease your worries. Many people may see psychotherapy as only available to adults, but child therapy is offered for children struggling with depression or anxiety as well. 

If you feel like these issues have started inconveniencing your life and you do not know how to cope, psychotherapy is a resource to help provide you with the skills to cope and manage your issues to work towards a healthier quality of life.

What Kind of Therapy Techniques are Offered?

In many psychotherapy clinics, there will be a wide variety of different techniques offered that are curated to help with everyone’s individual needs. At Healing Voices Psychotherapy, we offer cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), attachment therapy, exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, narrative therapy, and many more types of therapy. Each of these therapies fit different individuals needs more than others so, for example, if you were struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder, you would most likely be in ERP therapy. Each therapy takes on different approaches and strategies that are personalized to help you with your issue. 

What If I’m Unsure If I Want to Commit Yet?

Deciding if you want to or are ready to take the step into psychotherapy can be frightening and challenging. It may take some time and personal research to see if it is a right fit for you. Even after this, you still may have some doubts and are scared of jumping right in without knowing for certain what it entails.
