What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain your mental health and well-being. People usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods, and behaviours, that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships, and the ability to enjoy life.
Throughout the therapeutic process, we will work in a collaborative way to bring about positive change in your thinking, feeling, behaviour, and relationships, using psychotherapeutic technique. You are free to decline answering specific questions or participating in any exchange that makes you feel uncomfortable. If or when this happens, please share this with Ainsley so we can collaborate on providing you with personally meaningfully support. You should know that there are potential risks to psychotherapy. For example, after talking about difficult things, you may initially feel worse before you start to feel better. If you feel this is the case, please share this with Ainsley.
After having assessed your needs, and in consultation with her clinical supervisor, Anjali Joseph, MA, RP, LMFT, Ainsley may decide your care does not fall within her scope of practice. In such a case, you can expect that she will discuss this with you and make recommendations to other professionals or services who may be better suited to meet your needs. Ainsley is currently accepting new clients and would be glad to connect for a free 15-minute phone consultation to address your questions or curiosities, and to learn more about how she can best support you along your journey. Please feel free to reach out by email at ainsleyrp@cottonmillrehab.com.
We look forward to connecting!
