Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy or counseling, is a form of treatment that involves conversations between a trained therapist and an individual, couple, family, or group. Its goal is to address emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges, and to promote mental health and well-being. Through various techniques and approaches, psychotherapy helps individuals understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, explore underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal growth and positive changes in their lives.
