Why do people seek psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy (aka therapy) is a partnership between an individual or group of individuals and a professional who is trained to help people understand their thoughts and feelings and change their behaviors to align with what they want their lives to be about. People often consider therapy when they are struggling with their thoughts and feelings and behaving in ways that are harmful to themselves or others and when their behaviors are not in alignment with the kind of life they want to be living.

Where do sessions occur?

You and your therapist will determine how you can best access therapy that is clinically appropriate for you. Sessions can occur on a private and secure virtual platform, in person, or via phone.

How do I get the most benefit from psychotherapy?

You and your therapist are responsible for developing and maintaining a safe and trusting working relationship. Therapy works best when you attend all of your sessions. Therapy often brings up difficult and painful thoughts and feelings. Individuals who are willing to learn how to open up to these unpleasant experiences, in partnership with their therapist, often begin to live more contented lives.

How do I know if therapy is working?

You and your therapist will develop tangible treatment goals to guide and evaluate your progress. Goals will be periodically reviewed and updated. Reaching your primary goal(s) is one of many important factors when deciding to end therapy.

What if I need psychotropic medication?

If appropriate, your therapist will refer you to a psychiatrist.

What if I’m experiencing an emergency?

Each client will develop a crisis and safety plan with their therapist at the start of their treatment. Therapists are available for mental health emergencies Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. by calling (562)542-3600. Clients who are experiencing an immediate mental health crisis should call 911.
