Individual therapy is a collaborative process between you and your clinician. Rather than “fix the problem”, our goals are focused on working together to facilitate change and improve quality of life. Therapy can often help confront barriers that interfere with emotional and mental well-being. In many cases, you will explore much more than just the presenting problem—the issue that first brought you into therapy. You and your therapist together will determine the goals of therapy, and if the therapy should be short- or long-term. Research shows that the help of the right therapist can promote self-actualization, empower self-growth, improve relationships, and reduce emotional suffering.
