Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy: A Space That’s Just for You
Life doesn’t come with a manual. And sometimes, even when things seem “fine” on the outside, it doesn’t feel that way inside. That’s where therapy can help.
Individual therapy provides a confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with a trained, compassionate professional. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, managing stress, healing from trauma, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers room to reflect, grow, and move forward with clarity.
What Happens in Individual Therapy?
Each person comes to therapy with a unique story — and our work together reflects that. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula here. Therapy might include:
Understanding patterns in your thoughts, relationships, or behavior
Learning tools to manage anxiety, sadness, or overwhelm
Exploring how past experiences still shape your present responses
Identifying your core values and setting goals that feel meaningful
Building self-compassion, confidence, and a stronger sense of identity
Some sessions may focus on insight and exploration. Others may be more practical, centered around coping skills and strategies. Together, we decide what’s most helpful for where you are right now.
Who Is Individual Therapy For?
Individual therapy is appropriate for adults of all ages, from young professionals to those navigating midlife or retirement. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to benefit. Some common reasons people seek individual therapy include:
Anxiety or excessive worry
Low mood, depression, or emotional flatness
Relationship or family challenges
Stress related to health concerns, caregiving, or chronic illness
Identity shifts, grief, or transitions like divorce, relocation, or career changes
A desire for greater self-understanding and personal growth
Whatever brings you in, therapy can help you feel more grounded, understood, and equipped to handle life’s challenges with intention.
What Approaches Do We Use?
Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based approaches to meet your needs, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Interpersonal Process and Attachment-Based Therapies
Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Compassion-Focused Therapy
Narrative and Insight-Oriented Approaches
We work collaboratively — you bring your goals, questions, and story; we bring our training, tools, and presence.
Getting Started
Starting therapy doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. It means you’re ready to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
