Psychotherapist
When to see a psychotherapist
A psychotherapist is a specialist who occupies an intermediate position between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist has a diploma of higher medical education and treats mental illness with the help of drugs and physiotherapy. A psychologist is not a doctor, he helps people understand various life situations. As for the psychotherapist, this is, in fact, a psychiatrist who has received special training. He deals with disorders that significantly impair the quality of life and cannot go away on their own, without qualified help.
It is recommended to consult a psychotherapist if you have the following psychological problems:
- You have lost interest in your surroundings and have withdrawn into yourself
- Devalued relationships that used to be of great importance to you
- Losing confidence in their abilities
- You experience constant apathy, get tired very quickly, have difficulty getting up in the morning and struggle to complete basic tasks
- You feel discomfort throughout your body, not associated with any disease
- Your mood fluctuates for no reason
- Your reactions to the most ordinary everyday situations and the actions of loved ones have become inadequate and unpredictable
- You often show aggression and feel angry
- You suffer from insomnia or, conversely, drowsiness
- You have developed fears and phobias, neuroses
- You are having panic attacks
- An eating disorder is observed (anorexia, bulimia)
- You have difficulty concentrating
- You feel despair, hopelessness, and regularly have thoughts of suicide.
All these symptoms indicate a violation of the mental state and are unconditional for contacting a specialist. The psychotherapist has the necessary knowledge and skills to diagnose such disorders and develop an effective treatment regimen. The psychotherapist may prescribe additional studies or refer you for a consultation with narrowly specialized specialists, for example, a neurologist, a sexologist (if the patient has serious sexual deviations), etc. It may be necessary to involve other specialists in order to jointly find ways out of the pathological condition. He also has the right to prescribe psychotropic drugs and antidepressants to patients.
It is important to note that psychiatric help is sometimes needed, not only for adults, but also for children. There are violations that psychiatry can correct. These include autism, hyperactivity disorder. If the child has other developmental problems, such as low self-esteem during adolescence, hysterical states associated with nervous breakdowns and suppressed emotions. Also, with learning difficulties (poor memory, too non-standard thinking, etc.) or communication at school, in some cases you can first visit a psychologist, if necessary, then a psychotherapist. If close relatives have diagnosed psychiatric illnesses, and the child is in a borderline condition, a visit to the doctor becomes almost mandatory.
Today, family psychotherapists are in great demand - specialists who help resolve intra-family conflicts, improve relations between spouses, parents and children, representatives of different generations. Psychology helps all family members to undergo rehabilitation after traumatic events, for example, the departure of a close relative. With the help of therapy, you can return joy to life and start everything from scratch.

Where to find a good psychotherapist
At K+31 medical centers, qualified psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists provide psychological assistance. Specialists treat any psychological disorders using various methods - from regular conversation to drug therapy.
How does a consultation with a psychotherapist work?
A consultation with a psychotherapist is not like a regular medical appointment. A specialist of this profile does not examine the patient, and the office itself is more like a cozy living room. First of all, the psychotherapist collects an anamnesis, listens carefully to the patient and asks clarifying questions. In other words, the doctor explores the inner world of a person in need of psychiatric help.
A psychotherapy session at K+31 lasts about 1 hour. During this time, contact is established and the number of sessions is agreed upon. In some cases, we can provide online psychotherapy with a clinical psychologist.
At the first appointment, a conclusion is made about the patient's psycho-emotional state and the optimal technique is selected. The doctor sets up a person for the upcoming work on himself. In general, psychotherapy is not a passive process, and work does not stop between sessions.
Methods used in psychotherapy
Special techniques and tests are used in psychiatry and psychotherapy. The titles of most of them are associated with the names of the authors. We list the most popular tests:
- Lusher is a color test that helps to determine the psychophysiological state of the patient
- Rorschach - a person's perception of ink spots (the so-called "Rorschach spots") is fixed and the nature of the mental disorder is determined
- Sondi - the patient looks at photographs of different people and gives them an intuitive assessment ("like-dislike")
- Munsterberg - a test of perception and attention, which allows you to assess a person's resistance to stress
- Ammona is a structural test-questionnaire that reveals one or another deviation.
Psychotherapists in their practice use techniques that have proven their effectiveness:
- Psychoanalysis is a method developed by Sigmund Freud. When answering the therapist's questions, the patient voices everything that comes to his mind.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy is aimed at identifying and correcting cognitive distortions (irrational thoughts, attitudes, beliefs).
- Gestalt therapy goal - helps a person to separate their own needs from those that are imposed from outside.
The success of treatment depends on the skill level of the specialist, his ability to win the trust and favor of the patient. It is very important that the patient really strives to find a way out of a difficult situation and works “in one bundle” with a psychotherapist. It is under these conditions, when the patient must recognize the causes of his problem, not deny them and listen to a specialist, that the guarantee of treatment success increases.
Clinical care includes the use of not only these methods of treatment, but also others, such as art therapy, body-oriented training, etc. All procedures in the course have a complex effect on the restoration of the psychological and physiological functions of the patient's body. The search for suitable methods occurs individually.
Psychiatrists and psychotherapists working in our medical center will help you resolve internal conflicts and maintain mental health. Each doctor understands how important it is to help restore the patient's personality and already at the initial appointment begins to draw up a way to solve the problem. If necessary, hospitalization is possible, for example, for the treatment of endocrine disorders that cause hormone surges and, as a result, an unstable psychological state.
