Why psychotherapy? You may be wondering. Well, there are many good reasons why you might want to talk with a psychologist or social worker. People typically seek out therapy because they would like to talk with someone who is unbiased and impartial; someone who is not going to judge them. Deciding to go to therapy does not mean that you are "crazy", quite the opposite, it means that you are acknowledging the challenges in your life rather than allowing them to firther interfear with your happiness. It takes courage to take that first step and decide to talk to a therapist, but the rewards are usually well worth the risk. Psychotherapy represents a broad range of techniques used by psychologists and social workers to encourage the communication of conflicts and promote insight into problems. The general goal of psychotherapy is to promote relief of symptoms, or changes in behavior leading to improved functioning and personal growth.
