What Is Talk Therapy?
Talk therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is a structured process where you meet with a trained professional to discuss your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. A talk therapist helps you better understand patterns in your life and develop tools to manage challenges more effectively.
This process is collaborative. You and your provider work together to identify goals and create a plan that fits your needs. Sessions are tailored to your situation, whether you need short-term support or longer-term care.
