As your therapist, we can work to address the challenges you are facing. Typically, we will meet weekly for a therapeutic hour. Initially, we take a history and from there create goals and set up a timeline so you have an idea of how long your unique treatment plan will be.

Life After Therapy: Three Stories

Story of Emma

Emma’s husband did chose to move forward with the divorce, and Emma decided to stay in North County Therapy to address the stress and grief that accompanied this decision. While the process was not easy, Emma expressed feeling supported and often stated that having her regular therapy sessions helped her manage stressors and move forward successfully. She reports feeling like a much stronger version of her former self.

Story of Lexi

Lexi explored her shifting needs and the dynamics of her family. The insights she gained in therapy allowed her to communicate more clearly with her parents, which in turn lead to a more harmonious home life for everyone. It became clear that Lexi was experiencing some depression which therapy alone could not fully address. As her therapist, I worked with her psychiatrist and a therapeutic level of anti-depressants were given to Lexi. This combination of care created an optimal environment for Lexi who went on to graduate high school with honors and titrate off the anti-depressants completely before heading off to college.

Story of Cody and Araceli

Cody and Araceli dedicated themselves to the process. Through specifically designed communication exercises, homework assignments and regular therapeutic check-ins, they found each other again. Both expressed feeling more connected, better able to navigate difficult conversation, and a renewed sense of purpose for the relationship. Their intimacy increased drastically, and eventually therapy was no longer required for them to have the relationship they both desired.

Therapy is a unique relationship where one party trusts another to help them figure out difficult situations in life. All people struggle at various times in their life and there’s no harm or stigma in seeking a neutral outside party to discuss things.
