Therapy is effective
for improving the quality of
your life.
Whether you're struggling with an immediate stressor, long-standing problem, important decision, or seeking growth, therapy can help. No hardship is too big or too small to bring to your therapist. Being human is layered, relationships are complicated, and families are dynamic. We are prepared to support you through the most challenging of circumstances and past experiences, and help you move forward and grow, from right where you are. If you aren't sure what you're feeling or what you need, that's ok too.
Whatever your reason for visiting us; it's valid, and it's important.
If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.
- Brene Brown
You've likely tried to manage your situation the best you could, and may have run out of ideas or energy. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Past experiences and problems may seem to prevent you from living the life you desire. Feelings of hopelessness, fear, and uncertainty may have you questioning if it's possible to feel better or make a change.
These feelings are normal, human, and changeable.
While our approach is to be helpful in the very first session, the first few meetings are also a time for consultation. If you're not sure if you should attend therapy alone, as part of a couple, or with family, that's ok. We will help organize your care. There are a number of options and ways to do that effectively, and we are strategic in our methods and approach.
Individual therapy
During individual therapy you will collaborate one-on-one with your provider. Together, you will identify your goals for treatment, and explore your values and needs. Individual therapy is an opportunity for you to better understand yourself and others, resolve difficulties in your life, improve your relationships, and grow into the best, happiest, most peaceful version of yourself. Growth and change will look different for everyone. Individual therapy is truly customized to meet your needs; this is determined by the outcomes you seek, but also the modalities and treatment styles best suited to who you are. Individual therapy can sometimes involve the participation of someone close to you. Your therapist will thoughtfully organize this approach if indicated.
During individual therapy, you and your therapist will collaborate to achieve your goals.
