A therapist is a trained professional who helps people understand and manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. They provide a safe space for individuals to talk about their feelings and experiences, guiding them through challenges like anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Therapists use various techniques to support their clients, often drawing from fields like psychology and counseling. Therapists can specialize in different areas, such as family therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or art therapy. They work with individuals, couples, or groups, tailoring their approach to meet each person's unique needs. The goal is to promote mental well-being and help clients lead happier, healthier lives.
