About Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is the treatment of emotional problems through psychological means, with the aim of removing, modifying, or reducing the intensity of existing mental difficulties and promoting positive personality development.
Psychotherapy can be used to address a variety of problems and goals. People often seek psychotherapy for low self-esteem and self-confidence, life changes and crises, losses, or other emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression, etc.
Integrative psychotherapy got its name because it represents a combination or integration of different theories, but also because its result is the integration of aspects of personality within the client. Through the integration of personality, people become more courageous to face the world openly and in a new way, without the protection of a previously formed pattern.
Integrative psychotherapy emphasizes the co-creation of the relationship between the therapist and the client, supporting a two-way perspective of that relationship in which both sides are seen as collaborators who contribute to the shared relationship through interaction and mutual influence.
