When should I visit a psychotherapist?
There are moments in your life that you might experience negative emotions or have negative thoughts that seem difficult to overcome. You might feel stressed, anxious, facing difficulties sleeping or eating, having a heavy work load or experiencing relationship problems. Sometimes you might feel stuck in a challenging situation and you are not sure about the way to change it. In either situation, therapy can help you cope with these difficulties and find the right tools to bring balance in your life. If you want to know how therapy can be beneficial to you, you can meet a therapist and discuss together about the process.
Will my psychotherapist prescribe medication?
Absolutely not. The only person that is allowed to prescribe medication for any kind of disorder (anxiety, depression etc) is a Psychiatrist.
