<|assistant|>
The purpose of seeing a therapist is to help you cope with and overcome problems or mental health issues by providing psychotherapy, which is a form of counseling that aims to increase self-knowledge and promote understanding of yourself and your behaviors. A therapist will work with you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and help you build a healthier and more satisfying life. Therapists also provide emotional support and guidance while working to improve your coping skills, helping you manage stress, and changing unhealthy thought patterns or behaviors that are causing distress.
