Individual Counseling: Adults, Teens, and Children

Each different stage of life comes with its own unique challenges.

As a child trying to learn and understand the world around us…

Or as a teen trying to define ourselves and figure out who we are…

Or as an adult struggling to achieve our goals.

In each of these areas, there is plenty of advice and “helpers” out there that mean well; however, not everyone has the knowledge or tools to guide you through these unique stages. If you need to sit down with someone and just get a better perspective or work through difficult emotions, Individual counseling is the way to go.

When is individual therapy the right choice?

Therapy comes in when you haven’t been able to find the right guidance to help you get back on track. Individual therapy can accelerate you toward your goals and help you avoid any unnecessary roadblocks that prevent you from progressing toward the life you want.

With individual therapy, there are two approaches that we can take to help you with your difficulties:

• Talk Therapy, which involves discussing, educating about, and solving current day-to-day
difficulties.
• EMDR Therapy, which involves addressing underlying past causes to present negative emotional
reactions and can reduce or eliminate excessive emotional reactions.

What are the benefits of individual therapy?

Therapy is very individualized. The outcome depends a lot on what initially brings you to therapy and what you want out of it.

If you come in struggling with depression or anxiety, you can get control over those emotions. If your relationship is in shambles, therapy can help you get your relationship to the place you always dreamed of. Struggling with parenting? Therapy can help you understand what to do in those difficult times and guide your children in the direction you want them to go.

Basically, if it is a problem with relationships or emotions, therapy can improve it!
