In our main section on therapy, you can learn about the process of therapy and counselling, find out how different types of psychotherapy are supposed to work, and even try secure chat with a counsellor or therapist. This supplementary section includes additional material from the US government on mental health services.
You or someone you know may be seeking counselling or psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons. While the main site provides a detailed section about about counselling and psychotherapy, this section provides background information on therapy services produced by the US government.
Background information on counselling available here includes glossaries and summaries of both ‘traditional’ and ‘alternative’ approaches to mental health treatment. For a more detailed look at specific individual types of counselling and psychotherapy, check the main section on types of therapy at Counselling Resource.
