Psychotherapy, sometimes referred to as talk therapy, consists of treatment methods that help people with a wide range of mental illnesses and emotional problems. Psychotherapy works to minimize or eliminate adverse behavioral symptoms allowing a person to heal psychologically and function better in all aspects of their life.

A variety of mental difficulties can be mended through psychotherapy including addiction, social phobias, childhood trauma, the death of a loved one, insomnia, depression, and anxiety disorder. Psychotherapy can be administered through a variety of programs, each of which will work differently, depending on the individual and their specific cognitive issues. In addition, psychotherapy is often used in conjunction with other types of therapies or medications.
