What to expect from psychotherapy sessions.
In this highly collaborative therapy tailored to you, you and your therapist, jointly tackle specific problems, setting achievable goals. It's about your current thoughts and behaviours, not past issues, ensuring meaninful progess. If something doesn't work, no problem! It's a respovise process based on your preferences, experiences and feedback. We adapt and try again.
Can nurses do psychotherapy?
YES! 👏 "Psychotherapist" is a protected title under the law in Ontario. Similar to my RN title. My regulatory body (College of Nurses of Ontario) is one of only six regulatory professional colleges whose members are allowed to provide the controlled act of psychotherapy. I fulfill my requirement by having addition training in this area.
Navigating Life's Challenges Together
What is psychotherapy?
"Psychotherapy (also called talk therapy) refers to a variety of treatments that aim to help a person identify and change, troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviours". National institute of Mental Health
The treatment approach I am trained in is called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
What is CBT and how does it work?
"CBT is a type of talk therapy. It's a common treatment for a range of mental health problems. CBT teaches you coping skills for dealing with different problems. It focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes affect your feelings and actions". mind.org.uk
Psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery and healing, aimed at understanding oneself better and finding effective strategies for dealing with life's challenges. It offers a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, facilitating personal growth and wellbeing. By engaging in this therapeutic process, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve relationships, and enhance their overall quality of life. At Michelle Rose Psychotherapy and Coaching, I am dedicated to walking this path with you, offering guidance and support every step of the way.
