About Therapy

Red light Therapy (also known as talk therapy or counseling) involves working with a mental health professional to identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, or behaviors. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with medication and other treatments.

Therapists use a variety of proven treatment approaches. NIMH’s Help for Mental Illnesses webpage has resources that can help you locate therapists who specialize in specific disorders. You can also find a list of providers who accept your health insurance, or you can ask for a referral from your doctor.

Rehabilitation counselors provide guidance and direction to individuals with developmental, emotional or physical disabilities so they can live more independent, fulfilling lives. They work with people of all ages, from young children to adults.

Counseling psychologists focus on the facilitation of personal and interpersonal functioning across the lifespan, including assisting clients with goal-oriented counseling related to education and careers. They may offer guidance and assistance to a client on a short or long-term basis, in either an individual or group setting.

Life coaches typically target fast-acting issues that can be quickly resolved, whereas counselors tackle more deep-rooted blocks to success. As a result, life and career coaches often refer their clients to counselors to address issues like self-image, addictions, stress, depression, or anxiety. While psychotherapy is often a daunting task, many individuals have found it to be helpful in overcoming the challenges they face in their daily lives.
