A psychotherapist is a trained mental health care professional who helps people identify and work through the factors that may be the cause of psychological or emotional distress. Psychotherapy is the treatment of emotional or behavioral problems through the use of psychological techniques, often in one-to-one interviews or small groups. Psychotherapy is beneficial for many conditions such as depression, binge eating. It also helps the patient in developing skills for improving relationships, as well as understanding self, personal goals, and values. As with any CAM treatment, please keep your CAM provider and PCP informed of any alternative or conventional treatments you are currently undergoing to insure safety and suitability.
