What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a type of talk therapy that helps you identify negative thought patterns and behaviors so you can make changes that support your mental and emotional health.

Texas Advance Behavioral Therapy specializes in psychotherapy services for adults and adolescents who need support in managing mental health issues or overcoming traumatic experiences, grief, and other challenging situations.

The experienced medical team takes a holistic, whole-person approach to psychotherapy, focusing on your needs to ensure you get the care you deserve to optimize your mental, emotional, and behavioral health.

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Schizophrenia
• Bipolar disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

What can I expect during my initial psychotherapy session?

During your first psychotherapy session at Texas Advance Behavioral Health, you can expect to meet one-on-one with your provider or through the online telepsychiatry platform.

Your therapist may start by asking questions about your life circumstances, mental health symptoms, and other factors that contribute to your quality of life. The more open and honest you can be with your provider, the more resources they can provide to improve your mental and emotional wellness.

Your psychotherapy appointment is the ideal time to express yourself, ask questions, and learn strategies you can use to improve your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your therapist offers guidance throughout your session so you can better cope with your emotional response to challenging or triggering topics.

Psychotherapy sessions typically last 50-60 minutes, and your therapist discusses how often you should schedule sessions based on your condition and treatment goals.
