Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy or counseling, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on helping individuals address psychological and emotional challenges. It involves a collaborative relationship between a trained therapist and a client, with the goal of improving mental well-being, resolving conflicts, and enhancing overall quality of life. 

Psychotherapy is based on the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, and that addressing these aspects can lead to positive changes in mental health. It provides a supportive and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences, with the guidance and expertise of a trained therapist.
