Individual Therapy
Discover the Benefits of Therapy for Your Mental Health
Our team of therapists are all trained and skilled to provide individual adult therapy. Making the choice to begin therapy is often difficult.
​
To assess if psychotherapy is right for you try answering the following questions:
​
-
Am I sad, lonely, depressed, anxious, irritable, or fearful most of the time?
-
Have I lost pleasure in activities I once enjoyed?
-
Am I confused and not sure what direction to go in my life?
-
Do I feel misunderstood by peers, friends or family members?
-
Do I have difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships?
-
Am I currently in an abusive relationship or have I experienced past trauma?
-
Is it difficult for me to relate to others?
-
Do I want to look into my past experiences and gain new insight?
-
Have others noticed my maladaptive behaviors and suggested therapy?
-
Do I have thoughts about suicide or dying?
-
Am I going through a big life transition such a moving, a divorce, starting college, or care-taking for a family member who is elderly or with mental or physical illness?
​
-
Does my child have behavioral issues that are disrupting the family?
-
Have I or my partner had an affair?
-
Is there any sexual dysfunction present in the relationship?
-
Does my family fight and yell more that talk and communicate?
-
Do I, my partner, or my children feel stuck in destructive behavioral patterns?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, or family therapy might be for you. You can benefit from having a non- judgmental, empathetic supportive person to listen to your thoughts and feelings and offer advice or ideas to change your situation. It’s natural to still have fears and questions concerning psychotherapy, after all it’s a scary thought to decide to open up and tell a complete stranger all your “secrets.” Therapy is a process and you can start at a pace that is most comfortable for you. A competent therapist will address all of your questions and concerns with you prior to and throughout your therapeutic process.
​
Of course, if you are choosing to work on a specific goal, it will be helpful to find a therapist who is experienced in that particular field of counseling. But keep in mind that the most important factor for success with psychotherapy is with you as the client, feeling comfortable, understood, and supported throughout the process. A great individual therapist who will push you to make the necessary behavioral changes or perspective shifts to reach your goals, while also understanding and being empathetic to your needs. You want to feel a sense that your therapist “gets you.” With a trained, competent, and caring professional, your fears can be eased and psychotherapy can be a highly rewarding experience of personal growth.
