Psychoanalytic therapy is a long-term treatment that requires regular sessions with a therapist.
Group Therapy
Group therapy involves a small group of individuals meeting with a therapist to discuss their problems and receive support from each other.

It can be helpful in treating social anxiety, addiction, and other mental health conditions.

Art therapy can be useful in treating a range of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a type of therapy that uses play as a means of communication and expression. It is typically used with children to help them process and express their emotions in a safe and non-threatening environment.
