Starting Psychotherapy

What is psychotherapy?

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.

How does psychotherapy work?

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.

Is psychotherapy conducted in person or online?

Psychotherapy at Thriveworks in Cambridge, MA is conducted both in person and virtually via online counseling. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does psychotherapy last?

Thriveworks Cambridge psychotherapy is highly individualized, and its duration will be dependent on the goals, condition, symptoms, and overall needs of the client. Some may only require a month or two of treatment before deciding that their therapy journey is complete, while others might spend years receiving treatment.

I had been unable to make an appointment with a therapist for a long time. Everyone had a three month waiting list. I took a chance and made an appointment here. I love Hannah, she’s excellent, and I’m glad I found Thriveworks. It’s too soon for me to weigh in on the additional services Thriveworks offers but it seems good!
