What Is Talk Therapy?
Talk therapy, also called psychotherapy, is a series of conversations with a licensed therapist about what you're going through. Over time, you work out what's driving the problem, notice patterns in your thoughts and behavior, and build skills to handle them.
People start talk therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, stress, anger, relationship problems and low self-esteem. You don't need a diagnosis or a clear idea of what's wrong. Sorting that out is part of the first sessions.
Therapy and psychiatry do different jobs. A therapist provides talk therapy and doesn't prescribe medication. If you also want a medication evaluation, our psychiatric prescribers handle that, and with your consent they coordinate with your therapist.
