Understanding therapy
What is psychotherapy?
According to the American Psychiatric Association, psychotherapy is a type of treatment that can help individuals experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and the emotional challenges of everyday life.
It can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing. Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life, the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss — like the death of a loved one — and specific mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety.

For immigrants
Why therapy matters for immigrants
Immigration is one of life's biggest transitions. Leaving your homeland, rebuilding a career, raising children in a new culture — these experiences deserve care and attention. Therapy designed for immigrants addresses acculturation stress, isolation, identity, and family dynamics in a culturally sensitive way.
