What is talk therapy?

Talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy, is a form of mental health treatment where you speak with a trained therapist like Rebecka to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s a safe and supportive space where you can better understand yourself, work through challenges, and develop healthier ways to cope with life’s difficulties. 

Talk therapy is used with children and adults and can be tailored to meet your unique needs.

What issues can talk therapy address?

Talk therapy can help with various emotional and behavioral concerns. Some of the most common issues it addresses include:

• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Depression and mood disorders
• Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Grief and loss
• Anger management
• Relationship or family conflict
• Low self-esteem
• Stress and life transitions
• ADHD or behavioral concerns in children

It’s also helpful for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck and need someone to talk to without judgment.

How does talk therapy work?

During talk therapy, Rebecka works with you to identify patterns, triggers, or underlying causes of emotional distress. She may use specific approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which can help you change unhelpful thought patterns. 

Supportive therapy focuses on listening and helping you feel heard and validated. Children may participate through age-appropriate methods like play therapy or expressive activities.

The process is collaborative, meaning you and Rebecka work as a team to set goals, explore concerns, and build tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and handle daily life more effectively.

Is talk therapy ongoing?

The length and frequency of therapy depend on your needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy focused on a specific issue, while others may continue therapy longer for ongoing support and deeper healing. It’s common to attend weekly sessions at first, then move to biweekly or monthly check-ins over time.

Rebecka provides talk therapy for both children and adults ages 6 and up. Her approach is compassionate and individualized, helping you feel comfortable and supported as you work through whatever challenges you may be facing.
