ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Psychotherapist

A psychotherapist is someone who helps people talk about their thoughts and feelings in a safe and private space. They can help people feel better when they are sad or worried about things. Think of a psychotherapist like a friend you can trust to listen and give you advice, but they are trained to help you in a special way. They will ask lots of questions to help you figure out what might be causing your feelings or problems, and they will come up with a plan to help you feel better. It is like going to the doctor, but for your mind and emotions instead of your body.
