Therapy, or “psychotherapy,” or “counseling” encompasses numerous healing and treatment practices that aim to help a person identify and reduce the impact of challenging emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Psychotherapy is widely recognized as a legitimate and beneficial healing practice.¹

Therapy’s effectiveness has been proven for a range of conditions, and may also have positive impacts for more mentally healthy individuals who may be seeking growth in various aspects of life, including mental resilience, stress management, emotional balance, improved relationships, and many others.
