Psychotherapy is a healthy choice for individual freedom, a process help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. It is now known by developed societies all over the world that having psychotherapy is not something to be ashamed of. Psychological counselors’ support are required by many successful people. It is an extremely wise choice to know the deficiencies in one's own or the processes that force him and to want to act. The first step is to analyze yourself, to desire to resolve, to decide and to stand behind your decision. The main purpose of psychotherapy is not to cheer up or to justify. The main purpose is not to worry about the problem that the person is experiencing or to find and impose a solution. The environment for psychotherapy is a kind of partnership by which the necessary psychological athmosphere is tried to be created in order to support the person about getting in touch with himself and to discover his own solutions.

Medication and psychotherapy are not interchangeable, they are treatments that complete and reinforce each other. Although psychotherapy might seem like a burdensome practice at first glance, since it requires repetitive and regular therapy sessions, it actually contributes to shorten period of treatment by preventing the use of excessive amount of medication and recurrence of the disease/problem.
Psychotherapy can be applied according to the nature of the problem, individually or as a double/marriage therapy, a family therapy or a group therapy.
