Wikipedia defines psychotherapy as: " the use of psychological methods, particularly when based on regular personal interaction, to help a person change and overcome problems in desired ways ... to improve an individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions, and to improve relationships and social skills." We can't say it any better than that. All staff perform psychotherapy as stated above, usually beginning with weekly visits and once stabilization occurs to bi-weekly. Our goal is stability for the client and providing tools and strategies that can be employed so you can have the life you desire.

My approach to psychotherapy is interactive and strengths-based, starting with cognitive (thought-based) or behavioral coping skills, and moving into awareness of family of origin themes and the impact of past trauma when needed to activate more enduring personal growth in the client.
