No! Conventionally, therapy is thought of as a treatment for "mental illness", but this viewpoint is limiting. In this clinic, we view therapy as an important tool for cultivating resilience to hardship and promoting flourishing, two things that anyone can benefit from.

Various types of mental health professional (e.g. psychologists, social workers) can perform therapy, but there are benefits to working with a psychiatrist specifically. Psychiatrists are trained medical doctors, and are qualified to provide holistic treatment that integrates physical and mental aspects of health. Additionally, psychiatrists can prescribe medications, so if these are required at any point on your health journey, everything can be conveniently managed by a single provider.
