Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the 4 stages of psychotherapy?

While different therapists may structure treatment differently, psychotherapy generally follows four core stages:

1. Assessment & Understanding

You share your history, challenges, and goals. The therapist learns about patterns, symptoms, and what you're struggling with.

2. Treatment Planning

Together, you identify what you want to change and choose therapeutic approaches (like EMDR, IFS, CBT, or somatic therapy).

3. Active Therapy & Skill Building

You work through trauma, patterns, emotions, and behaviors while learning healthier coping strategies and building emotional regulation.

4. Integration & Long-Term Growth

You apply the insights and skills to daily life, deepen self-awareness, and maintain progress. Therapy may become less frequent as stability increases.

2. Is a psychotherapist different than a psychologist?

Yes, a psychotherapist and a psychologist are not the same, although both provide mental health support.

A psychotherapist is a licensed mental health professional (such as an LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, or counselor) trained to provide talk therapy, trauma therapy, and emotional support.
A psychologist holds a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) and may offer therapy, psychological testing, assessments, and research-based treatment models.

In practice, both can provide therapy; the biggest difference is the level of academic degree and whether they perform psychological testing.
