Some of the most frequently asked questions regarding psychotherapy include exactly what is psychotherapy, costs, and the length of time needed in therapy. To put it simply, psychotherapy is simply talking over your problems or issues with someone who is trained in various methods of problem-solving techniques. Many private insurance companies will help to defray the cost of psychotherapy, although each company is different. There is no set time limit for therapy, and the length of time needed to work through your problems is largely dependent on the problem at hand.¹

Fast Facts:

• Many patients are concerned about telling such private thoughts to a therapist, but there are laws regarding confidentiality and privacy to protect both patient and therapist.²
• Some patients question whether medication would be more effective than therapy sessions. This is something that only you and your therapist can decide, but it's important to know that not all issues can be solved via medication.³
• Deciding upon the sex of your therapist is an individual choice. Some women feel more comfortable speaking to another women, while some men may not be at ease revealing vulnerabilities with other men. The decision is purely up to the patient.³
