What Is Talk Therapy?
Talk therapy is a collaborative process between you and your therapist. It provides a confidential, supportive space where you can:
Express and explore your emotions without fear of judgment
Understand the patterns behind your thoughts and behaviors
Process life experiences—from recent events to long-held struggles
Set goals for personal growth and emotional resilience
Unlike advice-giving or venting, talk therapy is guided by proven psychological techniques and tailored to your individual needs.
