Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, is an approach to mental health that focuses on working through problems. The goal of psychotherapy is to help you live a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.
At Aveo Wellness, Dr. Deam emphasizes relationship-focused treatment options like psychotherapy, life coaching, and relationship counseling.
There are many types of psychotherapy. Dr. Deam’s approach draws on various elements of proven-effective forms of psychotherapy, including:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you become aware of your negative thoughts so you can change them. That helps you face challenging situations and respond more effectively.
CBT helps people manage stressful situations, such as divorce, and is a common treatment for mental health conditions like anxiety.
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on how you relate to other people in your life. The basis of IPT is that personal relationships are at the core of many psychological problems, such as depression.
Using an interpersonal approach, Dr. Deam helps you draw a connection between your depression symptoms and the factors that contribute to them. Instead of withdrawing, he teaches you to become comfortable with vulnerability to practice new ways of coping.
Psychotherapy isn’t only for people with mental health conditions like depression and anxiety; it helps with a wide range of issues, such as:
Families, couples, and individuals who are experiencing communication problems may benefit from relationship counseling.
Psychotherapy at Aveo Wellness happens in the office or via telemedicine, so you can speak to Dr. Deam from the comfort of your home if you prefer. With telemedicine, all you need is a computer, smartphone, or another mobile device to access the secure telemedicine portal.
