Individual Therapy for Adults

People start therapy for all sorts of reasons…

… and at varying points in their lives.

You may want to talk to someone when life’s stress becomes too much for you and you find yourself unable to cope.

Maybe life has thrown you one too many curve balls, and your once casual “Type A” personality has turned into overwhelming and debilitating anxiety.

Do you find yourself at wits’ end and could use someone to bounce ideas off?

Who knows… maybe you feel “fine,” but that little tinge of fear or ball of uncomfortable emotions keeps coming up as you go through your day.

Or maybe you’re asking yourself questions like, “Should I break up with him/her?” “Is this what I really want to do with my life?” or “How do I feel more joy and happiness?”

If this is a new experience for you…

You may have a lot of questions about therapy and wonder if you even need to go to therapy at all.

Consider how you might seek help in other areas of your life. For example, when your car breaks down, do you go to a mechanic? When you break a bone or don’t feel well, do you go to a doctor?

Seeking out therapy is no different than finding help in other areas of your life. Making life changes is difficult, and it makes sense to seek guidance from someone who can offer new perspectives and insights to help you move forward.

Part of what makes therapy so wonderful…

… is that everything you talk about in therapy stays in the room (with a few exceptions, such as imminent and violent threat toward yourself or others).

You may also wonder why going to therapy is different than talking to your friends or family.

Your friends and family are amazing support systems; however, the therapeutic relationship differs from other relationships, because it’s not reciprocal. You will likely share intimate details with your therapist without hearing too many personal details about their lives. The uni-directionality of sharing is not supposed to be harsh or withholding, as the therapy session is aimed to support your emotional experiences.

Additionally, therapists are trained professionals and work to create neutrality, lack of biases and judgment when discussing important issues. Your therapist helps you create realistic goals, debunk your thinking processes, uncover why certain issues and experiences are occurring in your life, teaches you skills to move forward, and supports your brain’s natural processing ability.

This is a unique opportunity to speak your mind freely without repercussions, judgment, or consequences.

If you try to get rid of fear and anger without knowing their meaning, they will grow stronger and return.

– Deepak Chopra

Here’s how we’ll make your life better through therapy…

Think of therapy as a genuinely supportive, non-judgmental, and honest space for you to discuss your thoughts. You’ll finally uncover the answers you’ve been looking for without judgment.

Therapy is a place to gain insight through self-exploration. You’ll understand how your past affects your current day-to-day life, create goals for your future, manage unwanted or uncomfortable feelings, and decrease or eliminate symptoms of trauma.

In therapy, you’ll learn coping skills to manage your emotions. You’ll finally be able to stop the panic attack before it starts, get out of bed in the morning instead of isolating all day, decrease your nightmares from the car accident, and set boundaries with others instead of always saying “yes.”

Therapy helps you become the best possible version of yourself and live the life you want to live!

I am trained to listen and attune to you in a unique way.

I’ll get to know you, understand your life, and help you process your thoughts and emotions at a deep, authentic level.

Together, we will get to the root of your barriers and pain, so you can move forward and actualize your potential.

Don’t be afraid to take the reins!

Our fears and misconceptions tend to keep us outside of the therapy room. If this feels like you, then allow this to be your direct invitation to come inside, take off your shoes, and dominate your fears.

This could be the beginning of a new start and the freedom you’ve been looking for. Sending an e-mail or picking up the phone is the first step!
