It can help patients obtain the tools they need to help process unresolved emotional issues and trauma. Individual counseling can help with learning coping skills and feeling better.

If you are considering psychotherapy there are a few approaches to consider that we offer…

• Psychotherapy is a term used to describe the process of treating psychological disorders and emotional pain through the use of verbal and psychological techniques. During this process, a trained psychotherapist helps the patient take a look at specific or general problems identify the issue, and work through it. For treating depression, some of the most effective psychotherapies include:
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses more on your inner thoughts rather than your physical behaviors.
• Interpersonal therapy focuses on relieving symptoms by improving interpersonal functioning.
• Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering.
• Problem-solving therapy or Solutions-focused therapy is a cognitive-behavioral intervention geared to improve an individual’s ability to cope with stressful life experiences.
• Adjunctive therapies: Increasingly, alternative or adjunctive therapies are accessed for augmenting the effects of the traditional treatment protocol. Such therapies might include TMS therapy, biofeedback, mindfulness meditation, and other holistic practices.

Psychotherapy can be used alone or with medications to help treat mental disorders. Mental health professionals use certain styles of talk therapy when treating specific conditions like anxiety or depression, which are the most common mental health conditions.

Psychotherapy is a great option for someone trying to understand certain behaviors and emotions they have and how they can then begin to identify them and change them. This is a great option for those looking for tools to help them communicate effectively with others, identify certain behaviors, regain control of themselves, and cope in a healthy way moving forward. Although talk therapy can be super beneficial to some, if you still are struggling, all hope is not lost. Sometimes a combination of medication and counseling can be more effective. TMS Therapy is also a successful alternative for medication or for those looking to augment their medication. TMS Therapy focuses directly on the mood center of the brain, sending magnetic pulses to parts of the brain that have gotten sluggish. It has seen great success in helping people struggling with anxiety and depression.

Psychotherapy on the other hand focuses more closely on the behaviors related to depression, so together TMS Therapy and talk therapy can be quite helpful and complimentary when dealing with people struggling with anxiety or depression as one is more passive and relies on technology and the other relying more on engagement with the patient. As you find the treatment option that works best for you, your mental health provider might prescribe both options as a solution.
