What to do when self-care isn’t enough.
In the previous blog, we contrasted traditional “brick and mortar” psychotherapy with more contemporary “gig” style therapy apps and services. We recognize that there are a lot of reasons that these new services might be attractive to someone considering therapy. In this blog, we want to do two things. First, we’d like to invite you to reflect on when it’s time to get help for a mental health issue beyond relying on self-care tools. Second, we want to give you the exact steps you will take to get there.
Why you deserve (good) therapy
We want to consider a question many people ask themselves: Why go to therapy? More importantly, why you deserve the kind of therapy that goes beyond symptom relief: therapy that is intensive, depth-oriented, and likely to lead to lasting and meaningful change in your life. Hartley Psychotherapy offers this kind of depth-oriented therapy, but you might be wondering what the alternative is.
Why we practice Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic therapy is one of the oldest forms of talk therapy. How does it differ from other therapy you may have tried, and why might you want to give it a try now?
How to pick a therapist (and how to know if this is the right one for you)
Wondering what to expect from a session at Hartley Psychotherapy? We know that choosing the right therapist can be hard, and sometimes you want information before even making the first appointment. This section is to help answer those questions and prepare you for the first step.
