Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, broadly speaking, is a form of treatment that involves meeting with a therapist on a regular basis to discuss difficulties and develop ways for dealing with them. There are many types of psychotherapy, from the traditional psychodynamic “Freudian” style to more recently developed styles such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Highest level of professional and ethical standards

The psychologists and therapists at Horizon provide counseling and therapy services to children, adolescents and adults, as well as psychological testing services for the evaluation of ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities.

How We Work Together

Book a Consultation

Taking the first step is the hardest part. A consultation lets you share what's on your mind and find out if we're the right fit.

Match With A Therapist

We match you with a therapist who understands your goals and can help you move forward.

Therapy & Testing With Purpose

Work toward real change with a clear plan designed around your life and needs.

Person who needs therapy for depression

Cornelius and the surrounding Lake Norman communities present an interesting paradox: a region that projects prosperity and calm—waterfront neighborhoods, top-rated schools, suburban amenity—while quietly carrying the same mental health burdens found in any growing American community. Nationally, nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults lives with a mental health condition, and the pressure to appear functional in high-achieving environments often delays the decision to seek help. For many Lake Norman residents, the first step toward psychotherapy is the hardest.

At Horizon Psychological Services, psychotherapy is not a one-size-fits-all service. Our clinicians draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma-informed practices, adapting the work to fit the individual rather than a protocol. We work with adults, teens, and children on a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties, and the day-to-day weight of chronic stress.

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy, broadly speaking, is a form of treatment that involves meeting with a therapist on a regular basis to discuss difficulties and develop ways for dealing with them. There are many types of psychotherapy, from the traditional psychodynamic “Freudian” style to more recently developed styles such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Different styles of therapy work for different people, and not every style of therapy is for everyone.

Can Psychotherapy Help Me or My Child?

Unfortunately, there is no definite answer to this question. Each specific situation is different, from the type of problem that is being dealt with, to the style of therapy being used, to the relationship between the therapist and the client. However, in many cases, psychotherapy can be beneficial, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with medication. Even for more “biologically-based” disorders, such as ADHD, therapy can be helpful in identifying and modifying behaviors and ways of thinking that negatively impact the individual in his or her life.
