Therapy
Mental health therapy is an important part of one’s healing journey. It is a collaborative process between the individual and the trained mental health therapist or counsellor. A more traditional view is that therapy is important for those suffering from mental health disorders. However, more and more people vouch for the effects therapy has on their mental health and wellbeing.
