 NYC Psychotherapy FAQs

  • “Therapist” is an umbrella term and can refer to many different types of therapist including physical therapists, occupational therapists and mental health therapists. A “psychotherapist” refers more specifically to a mental health therapist who uses psychological therapeutic interventions.

  • Yes, a psychotherapist is qualified to be able to diagnose a client.

  • As a psychotherapist, I can attest that psychotherapy does work. If someone is receiving psychotherapy and it does not seem to be working, it’s generally because the therapist isn’t able or effective in treating whatever issue the client is presenting. Alternatively, it can be because the client isn’t taking in the therapy interventions which may be because additional therapies may be needed or simply a lack of willingness to try the therapy.
