Talk Therapy
Clinically guided therapy, provided in house, to better understand thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns that affect daily life.
Talk therapy is ongoing work with a therapist to understand and address psychological, emotional, and behavioral concerns.
Depending on your goals, it may focus on managing symptoms, understanding recurring patterns, strengthening relationships, or developing more effective ways of responding to challenges.
At Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, therapy is individualized to your concerns being addressed and informed by the broader clinical picture. When appropriate, therapists can collaborate with psychiatric providers and other members of our care team so treatment decisions remain connected.
Types of Talk Therapy
Therapy can take different forms depending on the concerns, relationships, and goals involved. Our clinicians provide individual, couples, family, group, and child or teen therapy.
How Talk Therapy Works
Understand the concern. Establish goals. Work through patterns.
1. Understand
Your therapist begins by learning about your concerns, relevant history, current circumstances, and what you hope to address.
2. Plan
You and your therapist set treatment goals and choose a therapeutic approach suited to your needs.
3. Practice
Sessions involve exploring your experiences, recognizing patterns, developing insight, and practicing strategies tied to your goals.
4. Adjust
Your therapist reviews progress with you over time, so the focus, goals, and approach can shift as your needs change.
