What is therapy?

Therapy involves working collaboratively with a trained mental health professional to identify issues, gain insight, and develop strategies to improve emotional well-being. It provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to process thoughts and feelings safely.

How do I know if I need therapy?

  • Signs to Consider

There are several signs that may indicate the need for therapy. Poor sleep, low mood, anxiety, or difficulty coping with daily stressors could mean underlying mental health issues. Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, irritability, anger, fear, or emotional numbness also warrant professional help.

  • Life Transitions

Major life changes or stressful events like a divorce, job loss, death of a loved one, trauma or abuse can trigger the need for therapy. Such upheavals can strain one’s coping abilities and leave emotional wounds that require healing.

  • Relationship Issues

Unresolved conflicts, poor communication, trust issues, or a general disconnect in relationships –promantic, familial or platonic – may necessitate counseling. Therapy provides tools to rebuild bonds and improve interpersonal dynamics.

  • Substance Abuse

An inability to control addictive behaviors like alcohol, drugs, gambling or other compulsions could signify the need for substance abuse treatment and counseling. Therapy addresses root causes and coping mechanisms.

If any of these signs resonate, consider reaching out to a mental health professional at Bold Steps Behavioral Health. Our evidence-based therapies and recovery programs provide personalized care and support.

What exactly do you do in therapy?

In therapy, the focus is on exploring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The therapeutic process involves:

  • Gaining Self-Awareness

Through open discussions, you’ll gain insights into your inner experiences, patterns, and motivations. This self-awareness lays the foundation for lasting change.

  • Developing Healthy Coping Strategies

Your therapist will guide you in learning positive techniques to manage difficult emotions, reduce stress, and navigate challenging situations. Building a robust toolbox of coping skills empowers you.

  • Working Toward Goals

Collaboratively, you’ll identify areas for personal growth and set achievable goals. Step-by-step, you’ll work to overcome obstacles and make meaningful progress.

The content and approach are tailored to your unique needs and preferences. With commitment and an open mind, therapy equips you with invaluable life skills for improved well-being.

Is therapy better than counseling?

Therapy and counseling are often used interchangeably, but there are distinct differences. While both involve talking through challenges, therapy tends to be more long-term and focused on deeper psychological issues.

  • The Role of Therapists

Therapists, such as psychologists or licensed counselors, undergo extensive training. This qualifies them to diagnose and treat mental health conditions through various therapeutic techniques.

  • Counseling’s Approach

Counseling, on the other hand, is typically shorter-term. It aims to provide guidance and coping strategies for specific situational problems or life stressors. Counselors may utilize talk therapy, but cannot prescribe medication or provide clinical diagnoses.

  • Finding the Right Fit

Ultimately, the “better” option depends on your unique needs and goals. For complex mental health concerns, long-term therapy is often recommended. But for short-term support during a difficult transition or event, counseling can be highly effective.

A Bold Approach

Why choose Bold Steps Behavioral Health?

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is an opportunity to work one-on-one with a master’s-level therapist to develop a unique plan of treatment through discussion, tools, and education. Your therapist will evaluate your needs at the initial appointment, determining the best path forward. As you continue to attend therapy sessions, you will develop a deeper and more trusting relationship with your therapist, allowing for the deeper discussions and breakthroughs needed to evoke real change.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is an opportunity to grow alongside your peers in a group setting led by a master’s-level professional, where you and your group members will develop tools and skills that will aid in your path to recovery. Hearing about the experiences of fellow group members helps reinforce the idea that you are not alone in this journey and provides a safe space to share, learn, and grow.

Family Therapy

Addiction is a systemic illness that affects the lives of those closest to you. It is also difficult for family members to understand the struggles of addiction and mental health disorders when they have not experienced them firsthand. Family therapy offers the opportunity for everyone to address their thoughts and struggles in a safe space and experience healing together.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy is a unique approach to therapy that takes into consideration the nuances of how trauma can impact the individual’s life and affect the healing process. Your therapist will help you work through past trauma and its lingering effects, using tools and techniques specifically developed to address the symptoms of trauma.
