Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy in which individuals can freely express the details of their emotional difficulties or mental illness. Many people seek out psychotherapy as a way to facilitate personal growth and make life changes, but they may not know that emotional stress can also manifest into physical issues such as pain or muscle tightness. 

Some of the most common reasons for seeking therapy include: lack of motivation, feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, constant worry, fear of transition, past trauma, and family conflict, and in some scenarios, it is in a physical therapists best interest to refer patients out to deal with these issues first. By taking the time to address our thoughts and feelings, we can learn how to quiet our past and approach the future.
