Ethos Medications are like training wheels on a bike. They help keep you stable, but they don’t teach you how to ride. Psychotherapy is like riding lessons. People usually seek treatment after they’ve been wounded. Therapy is most effective when it builds a shield to protect you from future injuries. You are more than your diagnosis. We work to understand the whole person to treat the whole person. The therapist-patient relationship is all about finding the right fit. The initial assessment will help identify if we’re a good match. The purpose of therapy is to make the unconscious conscious. We cannot work with what we can’t see. Your mental health is not separate from your physical health. Or from your social, cultural, situational context.
