Psychotherapy is a type of mental health treatment that involves talking with a trained professional to help you overcome emotional, behavioral, or interpersonal issues. In Canada, psychotherapy is a regulated and licensed practice that is provided by trained therapists or counsellors.

The goal of psychotherapy is to help individuals improve their mental health and well-being by addressing the underlying issues that may be causing their distress. This can involve exploring past experiences, identifying negative thought patterns or behaviors, and developing coping strategies to manage symptoms.

During a typical psychotherapy session, you will meet with your therapist in a private and confidential setting to discuss your concerns and goals. Your therapist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

In Ontario, psychotherapy is often covered by public or private health insurance plans.
