According to the American Psychiatric Association, “Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that can help individuals experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Psychotherapy can help not only alleviate symptoms, but also, certain types of psychotherapies can help identify the psychological root causes of one’s condition so a person can function better and have enhanced emotional well-being and healing.” https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/psychotherapy 

“Research shows that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it.” https://www.apa.org/topics/psychotherapy/understanding 

“Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotional and psychological well-being and is linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction. With the use of brain imaging techniques researchers have been able to see changes in the brain after a person has undergone psychotherapy. Numerous studies have identified brain changes in people with mental illness as a result of undergoing psychotherapy. In most cases the brain changes resulting from psychotherapy were similar to changes resulting from medication.” https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/how-psychotherapy-changes-brain
