Seeking help and finding a psychotherapist in Delray Beach to assist you with what is ailing you may seem scary. It’s important to remember that seeking help is not an admission of weakness. It is a step towards understanding yourself and getting relief from symptoms that may be holding you back. If you are searching for a Delray Beach psychotherapist, The Counseling Center for Growth & Recovery is a great place to go. We help individuals, couples, and families overcome real life challenges.

It is important to understand what psychotherapy is and how it can help you. According to NIMH:

Psychotherapy (sometimes called “talk therapy”) is a term for a variety of treatment techniques that aim to help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behavior. Most psychotherapy takes place with a licensed and trained mental health care professional and a patient meeting one on one or with other patients in a group setting.

Each person seeks out psychotherapy for different reasons. Some of those reasons might be for:

• Help with addiction and/or alcoholism
• Anxiety and constant worry
• Depression or an overwhelming sadness and helplessness that wont go away
• Grief and loss
• Relationship counseling
• Trauma therapy
• Dealing with a difficult transition like a divorce or job difficulties

Depending on what you are suffering from, there are different one on one therapies and routes to take that can help you deal with it with the help of our therapists here in Delray Beach, Florida.

• If you suffer from anxiety and depression, we offer scientifically grounded therapies including, but not limited to, exposure, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and other therapies that have proven effective for treating anxiety and depression.
• If you are dealing with grief or loss of a loved one, you can be experiencing sadness, anger, confusion, or loneliness/emptiness. We have helped many clients work through the pain of loss and the mental and emotional torment and help them reconnect with life in a meaningful way.
• If you suffer from addiction, you may be dealing with denial, guilt, or shame that comes along with it. We use a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to create a plan to break the destructive cycle of addiction and learn healthy ways of coping.
• We also offer relationship counseling. Some reasons a couple may resort to couples therapy are infidelity, poor communication, money and career issues, co-parenting, divorce, and even abuse or destructive relationships. We offer a caring, supportive, and solution based approach where we identify what isn’t working in the relationship and strategies to repair the problem.

Not only is one on one therapy offered, online therapy is also a viable option. Perhaps you are reluctant, fearful, suffering from agoraphobia or social anxiety, or even debilitating health problems. Online therapy broadens the range of access to mental health services to people who ordinarily would not be able to access it.

Anxiety and depression can also be explored in a support group environment. This support group is a facilitated group where people can come together and have the opportunity to practice new skills and behaviors all while creating new connections with other people who suffer from the same things as you.

When looking for a psychotherapist in Delray Beach, it is important to not only find someone who is qualified and experienced, but also someone who recognizes that each person is unique and needs an individualized treatment that best meets their needs all the while maintaining a comfortable and non judgmental environment. It is also important to feel that you can trust this person to help you produce results.
