What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, is one of the primary treatment tools behavioral health specialists use to improve mental well-being. It gives you an opportunity to talk one-on-one with a health care professional about your mental or emotional concerns, helping you understand these concerns and create techniques that improve how you think and feel.

Holistic Behavioral & TMS Therapy is a psychiatry practice that takes an individualized approach to care. The team of behavioral specialists uses modern therapeutic techniques with a human touch to help you reach your goals.

What can I expect during psychotherapy?

You can expect patient-centered care during psychotherapy at Holistic Behavioral & TMS Therapy. Before making specific treatment recommendations, your provider completes a thorough psychiatric evaluation to fully understand your current emotional and mental state. 

Your provider uses the information gathered during your initial evaluation to determine what therapy may best help you. You may engage in psychotherapy weekly or monthly. Some people may only need a few months of therapy, while others may require long-term care.
