What is Psychotherapy?

What is Psychotherapy?

Here at the Relationship Center of Albuquerque, we utilize various types of treatments to help our patients, including psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that treats mental and anxiety disorders, as well as various psychological disorders.

 

Our therapist, Dr. Marji Prefontaine, assesses each patient’s individual needs and bases her treatment plan on what the patient is struggling with, to what degree it is affecting his or her life, and what the patient feels most comfortable with.

 

There are several types of psychotherapy offered, including cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, and psychoanalytic.

 

We encourage patients experiencing any of the following situations, to see us for psychotherapy:

• Not being able to concentrate on school or work activities.
• Not finding relief, regardless of self treatment activities.
• An overwhelming feeling of sadness or helplessness.
• Constantly worrying or being on edge.
• Participating in self-harming activities like drinking alcohol or doing drugs.

These are only a few of the commonalities we see in people that visit us in our office.

Any time you are having difficulty with issues in your life that are making a significant change in how you live your life, psychotherapy is recommended. When you’re ready, make an appointment with our office in Albuquerque, NM by calling 505-821-1948.
