INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Make an Appointment

Individual therapy focuses on the issues that clients bring to sessions. We actively collaborate to discern insights into feelings, beliefs, behaviors and relationships in order to improve wellness of the mind, body and spirit. These discernments generally lead to the creation of goals and a plan of action for change.

These are the types of issues and concerns that can be addressed in individual therapy sessions:

  • anxiety
  • depression
  • PTSD
  • complex trauma
  • eating disorders
  • LGBTQIA
  • gender identity
  • sexual identity
  • addiction
  • substance abuse
  • coping skills
  • infidelity
  • codependency
  • parenting
  • peer relationships
  • infertility
  • pregnancy
  • prenatal/postpartum depression
  • school issues
  • self-esteem
  • spirituality
  • stress
  • anger management
  • disassociation

Some common questions that bring people to individual counseling are:

How do I reduce worry and stress in my life?
How do I gain the self-confidence to achieve my goals?
How do I deal with unexpected tragedy, illness, or loss?
How do I overcome feeling “stuck?”
How do I improve my communication about myself with others?

In individual therapy sessions, issues and concerns can be addressed through mindfulness and meditation; person-centered, emotion-centered, and solution-focused techniques; family systems theory; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; cognitive behavioral methods; parts work approaches; and the Gottman method.
