Psychotherapy & Counseling

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy—often referred to as “talk therapy”—is a powerful tool for addressing emotional distress, trauma, thought patterns, and behavioral habits. It offers a space for healing, reflection, and skill-building. At VP Mindcare, while we do not provide in-house therapy, we strongly believe in its value and actively support therapy as part of a comprehensive mental health plan.

๐Ÿค Our Role in Your Therapy Journey

VP Mindcare specializes in psychiatric evaluation and medication management. We collaborate closely with therapists, counselors, and other mental health professionals to ensure your care is cohesive and well-supported.

We can:

  • Refer you to trusted therapists or therapy groups

  • Coordinate care with your current therapist (with consent)

  • Adjust medications to support therapy goals

  • Reinforce coping tools discussed in therapy

๐Ÿ’ฌ When Therapy May Be Helpful

  • You’re processing trauma, grief, or life transitions

  • You want to develop coping strategies for anxiety or depression

  • You’re exploring your identity or relationships

  • You need structured support for OCD, ADHD, eating disorders, or mood swings

  • You feel “stuck” and want a space to talk through emotions

๐Ÿ›  Types of Therapy We Often Support

While we don’t offer these modalities directly, we regularly refer to and work alongside therapists who provide:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

  • Trauma-informed therapy (e.g. EMDR)

  • Psychodynamic and insight-based therapy

  • Couples or family therapy

We tailor psychiatric support to align with your therapy goals.

๐Ÿ”„ Medication and Therapy: A Collaborative Approach

Many patients benefit from combining therapy with medication. While medication may stabilize symptoms, therapy can help address the root causes, build insight, and provide long-term coping strategies. Our providers understand how these tools complement each other and will adjust your treatment accordingly.

  • Clients already in therapy seeking medication support

  • Patients transitioning between providers or relocating

  • Parents seeking therapy referrals for their teens

๐Ÿ™‹ FAQs

Can I see you if I already have a therapist?
Absolutely. Many of our patients are referred by their therapists or seek psychiatric support to complement their ongoing therapy.

Can you refer me to a therapist?
Yes. We maintain a referral list of trusted therapists and will work to find someone who aligns with your needs, preferences, and insurance status.

What if I’m not ready for therapy?
That’s okay. We’ll meet you where you are. If and when you feel ready to begin therapy, we’re here to help support that step.
