You can stay clean with help from cognitive behavioral therapy, family counseling, and other types of therapy.

Frequently Asked Mental Health Therapist Questions
I’m a strong, independent woman on my own. Why do I need mental health therapy?
Everybody needs help every once in a while. You already have some strengths that you’ve used in the past but aren’t working right now for your mental health for whatever reason. Maybe this problem seems too big and is making it hard for you to remember what you were good at in the past. We’ll help you figure out what those strengths are and how to use them again in what’s going on now as we work together.
Can’t I just talk to my friends or family? What’s so special about talking with your psychologists?
Someone who can do something is not the same as someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you look at your situation in a different way. They can teach you new skills, give you new points of view, listen to you without judging you or making you feel bad, and help you listen to yourself. Also, therapy is done in complete privacy. You won’t need to worry that people will “know my business.” Lastly, if your situation makes you feel a lot of bad emotions and you’ve been telling a friend or family member about it, you might start avoiding that person once you feel better so you don’t have to think about this hard time in your life
Can’t medication clear up all my problems?
Medication alone cannot solve all issues. The only thing that medicines do is treat the symptoms. Our counseling work together is meant to help you figure out what’s really going on, get to the bottom of your behavior, and learn ways to reach your personal and/or relationship goals. Medication can work, and sometimes it’s needed along with therapy.
Ok I’ll try therapy with you. How does it work?
Every patients experience with The BGH Clinic begins with an initial assessment. Because each person has different problems and different goals for therapy, after your initial assessment your therapy will be different than everyone else. We make sure that our approach to therapy fits your needs. The length of time it can take for therapy to help you reach your goals depends on how much you want to improve yourself, how committed you are, and what brought you to therapy in the first place.
