Individual therapy


Individual psychotherapy helps you to learn about yourself. We work through behavioral, communicational, thought and relational patterns. Therapy is useful when you need clarity on your values and overall direction in life, but sessions can also be used as a safe place to de-stress and work through other complex, unresolved issues. Since every person is different, we focus on tailoring our individual counseling to suit the needs and requirements of the client. The role of the therapist is to act as a non-authoritarian, empathetic guide. Individual therapy sessions offer clients a place to discuss things that weigh them down, from present issues to things from your past, or both.
During the first session we will spend most of the time gathering information and determining goals for your time working with me. This first session may get to some steps towards change however it will likely focus more on information gathering.
Subsequent sessions we will focus on your goals and treatments that we set up as the plan in the first session and continue to work towards those going forward. Each person and situation will be different in how many sessions they may require. This all depends on complexity of the challenges, motivation of the client and other factors that influence change. We will monitor together regularly that progress is being made towards goals and for good fit.
