INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
One on one quality care
This time is dedicated solely to you. Together we will define your goals, identify and explore the behavioral and thought patterns that keep you stuck, and create a plan to move you forward. At times, we will process the stressors and current situations in your life that you want to navigate differently. And during other times, we will dive into your past to explore how your experiences have informed your thoughts, feeling, perceptions and behaviors.
Whether it be struggling to meet your own needs because you put others first, relationship challenges with others or yourself, or wanting to move forward from difficult life experiences-- individual therapy can help you make sustainable change in a variety of areas while also alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma.
