Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is an interdisciplinary field, situated at the border between medicine and psychology.
Psychotherapy is a comprehensive treatment modality - deliberate and planned - by specific means and methodologies, having a clinical and theoretical framework, focused on the reduction or elimination of symptoms, mental disorders or psychosocial and/or psychosomatic and behavioral dysfunctional distress (as defined by the Romanian Federation of Psychotherapy).
Psychotherapy is available to people of all age groups:

- adolescents going through important changes - as a result of gradual development and maturation - which can lead to adjustment problems;
- adults facing a variety of situations and responsibilities that can lead to psychological problems;
- older people with problems specific to this stage - chronic fatigue and sadness are not normal and are sometimes overlooked by the person or their family.
