What Happens During Psychological Treatment?

Psychologists are experts in mental health, and they specialize in testing and treating mental health issues for their clients. Psychologists frequently use psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, to help their clients work through the problems they face. Not all talk therapy looks the same — psychologists will cater your specific therapeutic experience to your individual needs, allowing you to make progress on your terms.

Some more common forms of therapy you might encounter include:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps you identify negative patterns of thought in order to replace them with healthy, positive thoughts and behaviors. It’s used for a wide range of mental health issues.
• Psychodynamic therapy: This type of therapy is about becoming more aware of unconscious thoughts and behaviors to understand your motivations and desires. This is similar to the form of therapy you’ve probably seen in movies.
• Interpersonal therapy: This approach focuses on fixing the problems you have in relating to others, such as your friends, family, or coworkers.

No matter what your treatment looks like, putting in this work can help you develop crucial mental health skills, like recognizing harmful and inaccurate thinking, implementing relaxation and mindfulness techniques, and building self-confidence. Our mental health professionals in Fairfield, CA, are here to help guide you through this process.
