Yes, research consistently shows that psychotherapy is effective for a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems. The key factors include your willingness to engage and the quality of the therapeutic relationship.

Therapists is a general term for professionals who provide talk therapy—it can include social workers, mental health professionals, and counselors who typically have masters-level training.
