Starting Psychotherapy

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a mental health service directed at treating assorted mental health conditions and disorders. The goal of this treatment is to improve a client’s daily functioning, ability to manage symptoms, and overall life satisfaction.

How does psychotherapy work?

Psychotherapy works by employing a variety of therapeutic approaches, depending on a client’s symptoms and concerns, in an effort to adjust perspectives, change behaviors, mitigate mental health symptoms, and address any other goals established by the client and therapist. Making these adjustments will usually involve talking about one’s past experiences, emotional introspection, making connections between emotions and behaviors, and many other practices.

Is psychotherapy conducted in person or online?

Psychotherapy at Thriveworks in Charlottesville, VA is conducted both in person and virtually via online counseling. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does psychotherapy last?

Thriveworks Charlottesville psychotherapy is highly individualized, and its duration will be dependent on the goals, condition, symptoms, and overall needs of the client. Some may only require a month or two of treatment before deciding that their therapy journey is complete, while others might spend years receiving treatment.

I have been seeing Sharon Davis for about 6 weeks now, and she is helping me greatly with my relationship with my husband. She is extremely knowledgeable and has given me some wonderful exercises for my anxiety. I just love working with Sharon, she really helps me to understand my emotions, and the need to love myself!

I have had the pleasure of working with Hiawatha as a colleague. His easy going manner and warmth as a clinician helps him to quickly connect with others. It is clear to me that Hiawatha cares a great deal for those he supports.

Reaching out to Thriveworks was a great decision. The service is excellent and the representative matched me with the best counselor for my needs. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised when I met Anita Dean. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about others. I have observed that she doesn't create cookie cutter plans. Instead, she creates a plan specific to the needs of her her clients. My husband and I lost our sweet family pet of over 15 1/2 years and it also caused the loss of a child to resurface. Anita, has handled my situation with care and assisted me as I walked through the grief process. I am so grateful.
