What is adult psychotherapy?

Adult psychotherapy focuses on you as an adult, helping you address and overcome various psychological and emotional challenges. It involves a collaborative process between your Panacea Behavioral Health & Wellness Center therapist and you. 

It involves exploring your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to foster personal growth and alleviate distress.

What issues can adult psychotherapy address?

Adult psychotherapy can address a wide range of issues, including:


Mental health disorders

Psychotherapy provides effective treatment for conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).


Stress management

Psychotherapy can help you learn coping strategies and stress management techniques, which can help you deal with the demands of work, relationships, and everyday life.


Relationship problems

Pyschotherapy can help you navigate relationship issues, such as conflicts with partners, family members, or colleagues. It can also help you learn how to form and maintain healthy relationships.


Trauma and grief

Psychotherapy provides a confidential environment where you can process and heal from traumatic experiences, such as abuse, the loss of a loved one, or significant life changes.


Self-esteem and identity issues

You may seek psychotherapy to explore and improve your self-esteem, self-image, and sense of identity.


Addiction and substance misuse

Psychotherapy can be an essential component of treatment for addiction and substance misuse disorders, helping you understand the underlying causes of your behavior and develop strategies for recovery.

Is adult psychotherapy an ongoing treatment?

Adult psychotherapy is often an ongoing treatment. However, the duration and frequency of sessions can vary depending on your needs and goals. For example, you may benefit from short-term therapy focused on addressing specific issues or achieving specific goals, while others may engage in longer-term therapy to explore deeper-rooted issues and foster lasting change.
