Individual Therapy

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is when a person works one-on-one with a therapist to gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This process can help with a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges. Therapy is a versatile and effective tool for promoting mental health, emotional well-being, personal development, and resilience. It offers a collaborative and confidential space for individuals to explore their concerns, gain insight into themselves and their relationships, and work toward meaningful change and growth.

    • Major life transitions such as starting college, changing careers, getting married, becoming a parent, or retiring can be challenging and may benefit from the support and guidance of a therapist to navigate successfully.

  • Self-Exploration and Personal Growth

    • Many people seek therapy as a tool for self-discovery, self-reflection, and personal growth. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore one's values, beliefs, strengths and goals resulting in a deeper more grounded version of oneself.

    • Therapy can help individuals develop effective coping strategies and techniques to better navigate life's challenges whether professional or personal.
