According to the World Health Organization, “There is no health without mental health.”. We all have mental health. Not everyone may experience mental health disorders, but everyone experiences difficulties with their mental health from time to time. When things in life become too difficult and overwhelming, know that there are mental health professionals who are right here to help you out. 

According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.” Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, we help our clients develop life-changing habits that help them cope with any of life’s various obstacles. Psychotherapy is not the same as a visit to a medical doctor. It calls for an active involvement on the part of the client. Psychotherapy is effective in helping individuals with their problems, aspects of which are related to disorders in thinking, emotional suffering, or problems of behavior. This is done through a therapeutic relationship between the client and the psychologist during the course of the therapy.

Aside from psychotherapy, psychologists also conduct psychological assessment. It is a process of acquiring information about a person. Generally, the kind of information to be acquired depends largely on the reason why assessment is needed. The most common reasons for conducting assessment include the diagnosis of a disorder, describing different aspects of a person like intelligence and personality, determining if a person is psychologically fit for work, identifying areas of a person needing attention, among others. Such information will be used to answer a referral question, to solve a problem, or to make decisions for evaluation. Such information will be acquired through a series of interviews and psychological tests.
