Does psychotherapy really help?

As per Wikipedia, Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods, particularly when based on regular personal interaction with adults, to help a person change behaviour and overcome problems in desired ways.

Did you know that for depression, Cognitive Behavioural therapy shows much lesser adverse side effects as compared to antidepressants? Rather than pumping medication into your body, we choose to provide therapies and counselling that have been proven to show results. In a setting that is comfortable for our counselees, we provide care that is of the highest standards.

Currently, we provide a range of treatment modalities, including:

• Psychodynamic Psychotherapy – The idea behind this process is to reveal what the unconscious mind holds and using that to alleviate any stress, tension or concerns.
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – By simply changing the way you think or behave, you could see a difference in your life and all this happens mainly by talking.
• Dialectical behavioural Therapy (DBT) – Many a times, we forget to just live in the moment and allow the stress to take over – with this therapy, you will be taught to regulate your emotions, generate better relations with people around you and let yourself go with the flow.
• Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) – Designed mainly to treat mood disorders, the idea behind IPT is to help a client improve interpersonal relationships and work better within a society.
• Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) – If your relationship with your significant other has started to dull a little, this short term therapy could be just what you need.
