There are many moments in a person’s life in which psychotherapy is recommended. Some people seek psychotherapy because they are feeling hurt and confused others because they are experiencing  insomnia, anxiety or depression. While others decide to seek treatment after receiving a medical diagnosis or after a recent admission to a psychiatric inpatient facility. The reasons propelling people towards psychotherapy vary but they share something in common: Life has reached a point in which self-understanding and self-acceptance are needed and change for the better is desired.

The truth is that having a supportive relationship geared towards gaining a better understanding of oneself and towards learning strategies to deal effectively with psychiatric symptoms tends to have an overall beneficial effect on people’s lives. For instance, people undergoing psychotherapy are more like to have increased awareness of their choices, which means that they are in fact making choices and not just reacting to their environment or compulsively repeating the same old mistakes.

All individuals seeking treatment are unique. For this reason, the ICP is committed to prioritizing the humanity and dignity of those seeking treatment (committed to treat people, not psychiatric diagnoses) and to determine the appropriate treatment depending on each individual’s life history, symptoms, current circumstances and strengths.
