What Is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy—also known as talk therapy—is a form of mental health treatment that helps people understand their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, struggling with trauma, feeling burnt out, or simply looking to gain self-awareness, psychotherapy provides a safe space for healing and growth.
At BodyLab Recovery Science in St. Catharines, our psychotherapist Kathryn Kove offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your individual needs.
