Psychotherapy is a scientifically proven and effective method of treating mental disorders. It helps change deeply ingrained patterns of behavior, thinking, and feeling. We recommend this form of help if you experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental problems. Psychotherapy is also indicated for people whose current problems have roots in a difficult past. If you are dealing with the consequences of trauma, your problems have been with you for a long time, or they recur in a certain pattern, psychotherapy will help most effectively.
