Psychotherapy Q & A

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a type of talk therapy that helps you identify negative thought or behavior patterns. Therapy also provides you with tools you can use to cope with difficult circumstances, including the loss of a loved one, financial challenges, and relationship conflicts.

The primary goal of psychotherapy is to learn how to understand your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, so you can make appropriate changes for the benefit of your mental and emotional well-being.

a1 Family Psychiatry provides personalized psychotherapy services for adults and children who feel overwhelmed by stress, grief, or symptoms of mental health conditions. Appointments are available in the office and through a virtual telemedicine platform.

The skilled therapists work closely with you to identify your needs and provide resources that help you feel empowered to make important life changes. They maintain a safe space, free of judgment, to support people from all walks of life, including the LGBTQI+ community.

Are there different types of psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy uses different approaches to help people with specific mental health conditions or life challenges. These approaches include:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you explore dysfunctional thought patterns that trigger unhealthy behaviors or emotions. This therapeutic approach helps you shift negative thoughts into more positive, healthy thoughts to improve how you feel and act.

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)

DBT uses evidence-based techniques to support individuals with mood disorders, personality disorders, and suicidal ideation.

Exposure therapy

Exposure therapy involves exposing individuals to situations or objects that trigger anxiety and fear in a safe space to reduce the severity of negative reactivity.

a1 Family Psychiatry offers psychotherapy for individuals, families, and groups in a comfortable, supportive environment.
