Psychotherapy Q & A

What is psychotherapy?

Patients with mental health issues benefit from psychotherapy, which involves talking with a professional mental health provider to process and work through specific issues. Psychotherapy also helps you learn and understand how your emotions, behaviors, and thoughts affect your moods and relationships.

Through psychotherapy, you learn how to take control of your life. You become better able to respond to challenging situations in a healthy way. 

What are the types of psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy requires communication and active participation of both the therapist and the patient. Veronica may guide you with the following:

Psychodynamic psychotherapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy involves the exploration of childhood experiences and unconscious beliefs that may negatively impact your life. This type of psychotherapy helps increase your self-awareness so you can change behavior patterns for the better. 

Psychoanalysis

Through psychoanalysis, Veronica helps you learn how desires and fantasies in your unconscious mind drive your actions and thoughts. She works with you to explore patterns and behaviors responsible for unpleasant patterns in your life. Psychoanalysis helps you make lasting, substantive changes in your behavior, reactions, and thought patterns.

Why would I need psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is individualized to you. Veronica helps you explore your current thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. She’ll work with you to uncover the possible causes of those patterns so you can better understand yourself and make quantifiable changes that improve your mood, relationships, and mental outlook. 

You may seek psychotherapy to help you process mental health concerns, including:

  • Mood disorders like depression
  • Anxiety disorders, like obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Substance misuse, like alcohol use disorder
  • Eating disorders like anorexia
  • Personality disorders like borderline personality disorder

Veronica knows that you are a unique individual and that no other person has the same history, experiences, worldview, goals, and needs as you. Psychotherapy meets you where you are and works with you to process unhelpful emotions and behaviors so you can thrive.

Psychotherapy is part of a comprehensive plan to improve your overall well-being. Veronica may also recommend medications and behavioral therapy along with talk therapy.
