Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a structured and goal-oriented treatment method in which the psychotherapist and client work together to address mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems.

A psychotherapist is a licensed professional authorized by Valvira and may have training as a psychologist, physician, or another social and healthcare professional. Approaches in psychotherapy include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR.

Kela rehabilitation psychotherapy is a partially subsidized service to support work and study ability for people aged 16–67. In the private sector, appointments with psychotherapists are often available more quickly than in public services.
