Psychotherapy
Improve Your Emotional and Psychological Well-Being with Treatments in the Philadelphia Area
Psychotherapy from the Philadelphia area’s Buckingham Psychiatry—also known as talk therapy or simply therapy—involves treating mental conditions to provide an enhanced emotional well-being and healing. This approach involves talking with a mental health provider as a way of getting treatment for mental health issues. Through therapy, Dr. Jacob Buinewicz can help you take control and learn healthy coping skills to help you respond to challenging situations.
What Does Psychotherapy Involve?
Psychotherapy involves treatments for individuals who are experiencing various types of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. In addition to managing or alleviating these symptoms, the approach can also include certain psychotherapies that help patients identify the psychological root causes of their condition. Psychotherapy can treat conditions associated with coping with stressful life events, trauma, mental illness, loss, and specific types of mental conditions such as depression and anxiety. Through psychotherapy, Dr. Buinewicz can learn about specific issues that are affecting you, as well as the impact that your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours have on your moods.

Therapy in Combination with Medication
Sometimes, therapy alone isn’t enough for providing relief from mental health conditions, so medications or other treatments may be needed. Psychotherapy can be used together with medication—and for many people this can be more effective than either option done in isolation. Psychotherapy is the better option for certain cases, while medication may be the most suitable option for others. To support overall wellness, Dr. Buinewicz may sometimes recommend lifestyle changes or improvements, such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet.
There are many complexities involved in medication selection, dosage, side effects, and interaction monitoring. Dr. Buinewicz provides personalized and comprehensive medication management and support to help you maximize the benefits of medications while reducing potential associated side effects.
