Psychotherapy Associates

The decision to begin psychotherapy can have an important impact upon the rest of your life. Research has shown that patients who enter mental health treatment with a good understanding of how the psychotherapy process works are most likely to achieve favourable results.

In psychotherapy, you and your therapist work out strategies for handling problems of daily living. Examples of problems which can be effectively addressed include depression, anxiety and panic, "flashbacks," guilt, low self-esteem, eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, couple and family difficulties, and general interpersonal difficulties. Additionally, psychotherapy can lead to personal growth through clarification of your thoughts and feelings about yourself, others, and events in your life.
