What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a form of therapy that’s designed to help you regain control of your life if you’re suffering from a mental health disorder or emotional difficulty. The Soho Center for Mental Health Counseling & Clinical Supervision offers many different types of psychotherapy, including:

  • Cognitive therapy: This type of therapy is designed to put an end to negative thinking patterns and replace them with more productive thoughts that help you function better.
  • Interpersonal therapy: This is a more targeted form of psychotherapy in which your therapist works with you to help you understand how underlying issues, like unresolved grief, can have an impact on your life and your relationships.
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): Helpful for those who suffer from emotional dysregulation or bipolar disorder, DBT works by regulating your emotions and learning new coping skills.
  • Psychodynamic therapy: This form of psychotherapy is based on the notion that early childhood experience may impact your behavior as an adult.

While these therapies represent the most commonly used, the mental health care providers at The Soho Center for Mental Health Counseling & Clinical Supervision are also trained in:

  • Acceptance and commitment therapy
  • Gestalt therapy
  • Compassion-focused therapy
  • Mindfulness
  • Solution-focused therapy
  • Motivational interviewing

If you or a loved one is having trouble because of a mental health disorder or emotional problem, the odds are that psychotherapy can play a role in your ability to find a solution.
