Individual Therapy

People seek individual therapy for many reasons.

Are you feeling “different” from others? When you believe you are fundamentally different from your friends, family, or others around you, there is a sense of being misunderstood or not fitting in.

Are you experiencing isolation and loneliness due to your thoughts? If you treat your thoughts as facts, they might seem overwhelming or isolating. Individual therapy provides an opportunity to explore those thoughts.

When life feels overwhelming and you are having trouble making decisions, therapy can help with your issues. When you experience a transition, you can feel detached from what is happening or just trying to cope with all the “stuff” some transitions can bring, like moving, a new job, or perhaps starting a family.

Of course, there is the empty nest “syndrome” and eventually retirement. Each of these transitions brings its own particular set of concerns. Or the transition might relate to deciding which option is best for you, and voicing these options with a therapist can help you make the right decision for you.

Individual therapy is about behavioral change.

You know how to be you with your eyes closed and your hands tied behind your back. This self-awareness comes from practicing and honing the person you are today every day since you have been you!

What you learn in individual therapy will be things that are not you yet. These skills will help you learn a new way to relate to your complex thoughts and feelings.

When you enter therapy, you will learn skills that will help you focus on what is important to you. You will engage in these skills with your therapist and learn how to practice them in the world – where they are most meaningful.

In therapy, you can start connecting the dots, which can help you understand why you do some things or perhaps react in a certain way. So much is tied back to our developmental years that can contain some of the answers you seek.
