Psychotherapy is a mental health service directed at treating assorted mental health conditions and disorders. The goal of this treatment is to improve a client’s daily functioning, ability to manage symptoms, and overall life satisfaction.
Psychotherapy works by employing a variety of therapeutic approaches, depending on a client’s symptoms and concerns, in an effort to adjust perspectives, change behaviors, mitigate mental health symptoms, and address any other goals established by the client and therapist. Making these adjustments will usually involve talking about one’s past experiences, emotional introspection, making connections between emotions and behaviors, and many other practices.
