Psychotherapy is the art of applying this knowledge along with many techniques, to help people change distressing thoughts, feelings, behaviors and relationships. In Alberta, psychologists must be registered to practice and follow standards to provide you with the safest and most effective care. You and your psychologist\/therapist will work together in a supportive relationship where you can talk openly and safely about concerns.<\/p>\n
A meeting with a psychologist\/therapist involves an assessment and use of talk therapies to create change in problem areas such as discontent with who you are, life transitions, relationships, separation and divorce, depression, extreme mood change, stress, anxiety, coping with trauma, addictions, and workplace stress to name a few. The assessment and approach to your plan is based on your individual, unique goals, needs and personality.<\/p>\n
