The Basics About Therapytherobertsylviagroup_tzj42a2025-01-05T15:06:14+00:00

The Basics About Therapy

There are many types of therapy and many theoretical approaches, but all tend to share the following assumption:

Therapy must be tailored to the individual. Each person’s emotional make-up is unique, since each person has his or her personal history, life experience, and personality style. In addition, each person has a characteristic way of tackling difficult problems, and we all have strong points and weak points which help or hinder us in coping with emotional troubles. Therapy works best when all these factors are taken into account. The “best” therapy for each person depends on all these factors. Standardized approaches to treatment are rarely flexible enough to account for the uniqueness of each individual.

When to Consider Therapytherobertsylviagroup_tzj42a2025-01-05T15:07:13+00:00

When to Consider Therapy

The decision to see a therapist is a very personal one, most often made at a time of great stress or emotional pain. You may wish to consider therapy if you or someone close to you is experiencing:

self-esteem issues
depression or mood swings
stress or anxiety
problems with drugs or alcohol
loneliness
excessive anger, frustration, or guilt
communication problems
constant worries or obsessions
relationship concerns
stress in the face of chronic illness
school problems or job concerns
life event concerns: marriage, divorce, parenthood, step-family issues, empty nest, retirement, old age
issues of sexuality or sexual identity
problems following traumatic events or after-effects of childhood abuse
domestic violence or other forms of abuse

The decision to pick up the phone and ask for help is often difficult. Our experienced therapist knows this and can help put you at ease and answer your questions. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, we will listen to your concerns and help you decide upon the most appropriate course of action.

Does Therapy Work?therobertsylviagroup_tzj42a2025-01-05T15:07:39+00:00

Does Therapy Work?

Trust is essential. Psychotherapy works best when you as the consumer trust the competence and integrity of the therapist and when there is strong rapport. A therapist is most likely to be helpful if you are able to communicate your thoughts, feelings and concerns clearly. If you do not feel able to be open and forthcoming, the quality of the treatment you receive may be compromised.

How About Privacy?therobertsylviagroup_tzj42a2025-01-05T15:08:08+00:00

How About Privacy?

Privacy is crucial. Trust and openness develop most easily when you know that the things you say will not leave the room. No information about therapy sessions can be released without your permission. There are exceptions to this rule in very strictly defined cases in which a client is either a clear or present danger to themselves or others, or when there is a reasonable suspicion that minors are being neglected or abused.
