Individual Therapy
Why choose individual therapy?
Individual counseling can help you approach any challenge you may be facing.
You may have experienced family or couple’s counseling. Individual counseling allows you to focus on your experience.
This can be helpful in allowing you a judgement-free space where you can explore what has happened and how it affected you without worrying that someone else could be hurt.
There’s also a huge benefit to hearing yourself share and receiving feedback from a neutral third party (me) to determine how to move forward.
Consider Emma’s Story
Emma thought life was going smoothly and was caught off guard when her husband asked for a divorce.
Individual counseling allowed her to explore her feelings and reactions. She talked about her fears and the anger she felt without creating additional turmoil in her home.
Emma felt that coming to therapy meant her friends did not need to feel the burden to completely support her in her journey as they have their own struggles.
Initially, Emma thought she should try to save her marriage and initially sought couple’s counseling with me. Her partner declined to attend, and Emma decided to use therapy as a coping tool. Through the process of individual counseling, Emma accepted that she could not control her husband, and there were things in her personal world she could address while the divorce happened.
Issues with her children came up. A desire to expand professionally was explored. Her intense grief around losing her marriage was respected and processed.
Emma found a way to live a life she had not asked for and learned how to do it with strength and knowledge.
Why choose individual therapy?
My role as a therapist is to support and guide you through your journey to becoming the person you want to be. We will:
- Create a plan of action to improve your current situation.
- Explore how your history may be distorting or affecting your future.
- Determine how you can begin living your life to the fullest.
Individual therapy can be an intense experience because there is nowhere to hide. We will be focusing on you and your situation.
I approach my clients with the utmost respect. While I am direct, I bring humor and sensitivity to my therapy sessions. We will move at a pace that is tolerable for you—remembering that you will get out of therapy what you put into it.
I cannot promise this path will be easy or comfortable, but I know together we can find the relief and direction you need.
