Psychotherapy can be helpful for individuals experiencing emotional distress.

Emphasis is placed on helping individuals reduce negative symptoms, gain an understanding of the source of their distress, and put into action new ways of experiencing themselves and others. The following are some of the areas where psychotherapy can be helpful:

• Depression
• Anxiety or fearfulness
• Feeling a loss of control in your life
• Relationship problems
• Not living up to your potential

There are many views on how psychotherapy works. Dr. Fischer believes that experiences from the past influence how an individual conducts present day life. Sometimes these influences are completely out of one’s awareness. Awareness and insight can contribute to developing a new and more effective life experience.

Through psychotherapy, it is possible to:

• Develop positive patterns of behavior
• Improve relationships
• Increase a sense of comfort with oneself
• Gain a greater sense of control

You may want to consider scheduling an appointment if you are struggling with resolving your concerns on your own.
