The statement that is NOT a myth about psychotherapy identified in the text is:

"If I am taking medication then I don't need therapy."

This is because taking medication and receiving therapy are two separate forms of treatment that can be used to address different aspects of mental health. Medication can be helpful in managing symptoms of mental illness, but it does not necessarily address the underlying causes or provide coping strategies for long-term mental health. Therapy, on the other hand, can help individuals work through their thoughts and feelings, develop coping mechanisms, and address patterns of behavior that may contribute to mental health concerns.

The other statements listed are all common myths about psychotherapy, including the belief that there is one best therapy, that therapy is only for deeply disturbed individuals, and that a therapist's job is to solve a patient's problems for them.
