Psychotherapy Q & A

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is centered in dialogue and can be helpful in treating a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, addictions, eating disorders, and personality disorders. There are many specific types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, family therapy, group therapy, and couples counseling.

Talking about how you feel can be a great way to deal with your day-to-day issues. When you’re well, sharing these issues with friends or family helps your mind to stay healthy. However, when you have a mental health disorder, it’s best to seek help from expert psychologists and therapists like those at Bowman Medical Group.

Working with an expert can help you regulate your emotions, gain insight into problems and solutions, improve relationships with others, just to name a few. The goal will be to help you lead a healthy life. Psychotherapy can also work as part of a broader treatment plan that might also include medications.
