Psychotherapy is a way of treating emotional or mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, poor attention, excessive anger, inability to build satisfying relationships, or problems resulting out of negative life experiences. Your therapist will meet with you to find out what it is that you want to work on and help put together a plan for how to make changes in the problems that are bothering you. In your first visit, I will ask you to explain what is going on that is bothering you. Depending on the type of problems you have, what is causing them, how stressful your current lifestyle is, and how much support you have from friends or family members, there are a variety of things that may help you. Often, just talking about what is bothering you can make a difference. Sometimes I may refer you to other specialists in addition to getting psychotherapy. I may ask you to do homework between sessions. It may be that changes in health habits such as diet or exercise would make a big difference in how you feel. Or, there may be skills that you need to learn and practice in order to feel better. Depending again on what it is that you want to work on, treatment time can range from very brief (a few sessions) to very long (a few years). If I do not think I am the best professional to help you, I will let you know as soon as possible and talk about alternatives. Insurance will often cover psychotherapy when you have a mental health diagnosis, such as depression or attention deficit disorder. Talk to your insurance provider to find out which providers they cover, how much they pay, and the limits on how many sessions they will cover. If you would like to know more about whether psychotherapy could be helpful for you, feel free to contact me. Talk to someone who can help
