Psychotherapy and Counseling
Psychotherapy is method of talking therapy that is used to help people understand themselves more fully, alleviate inner suffering, solve problems and/or manage their lives and relationships better. Psychotherapy can treat depression, anxiety, eating disorders, phobias, substance abuse, relationship problems and many other painful issues.
Psychotherapy is limited to conversations. It does not include drug therapy or other physiological treatment though it can be used along with other therapies and treatment methods.
Psychotherapists do not have to be medically qualified in order to provide this type of treatment but they should be clinically trained in psychotherapeutic methods.
Both Dr. Mark Smaller and Kim Richardson provide psychotherapy and are licensed by the states of Illinois and Michigan to do so.
