Psychotherapy – Is It Right For You?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.

Problems helped by psychotherapy include:

• relational struggles with self and others, 
• the impact of trauma, 
• medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one;
• and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. 

There are several different types of psychotherapy and some types may work better with certain problems or issues. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

Does Psychotherapy Work?

Research shows that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it. Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotions and behaviors and to be linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits also include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction.

How Can I Help?

Are you experiencing any of the following:

• anxiety,
• depression,
• self-criticism,
• emotional pain,
• confusion,
• low self-esteem,
• living in fear of anything that’s negatively effecting your well-being?

If these conditions are allowed to persist without finding a workable solution, they can rob you of your happiness and make your dreams and visions in life seem elusive.

With a degree in Psychotherapy, certification in Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming, and with my wealth of experience practicing psychotherapy in Los Angeles, my approach to psychotherapy is to fashion out an experience that is specifically designed for you.

As a psychotherapist, I have had the opportunity to help numerous people deal with issues in their life, some of which include:

• Understanding and altering communication in relationship to self and others.
• Reducing anxiety/depression in one or more areas of live, including habits and/or negative thinking.
• Find relief from anxiety/pain.
• Increase/enhance athletic and or creative performance.
• Manage stress from different areas of life.

If it’s your goal to conquer that fear, that negative habit, that emotional pain or confusion, which have made your dreams and visions in life become mere wishes, then I am here to help you achieve that goal.
