When Should I Schedule Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy can benefit anyone facing difficulties, regardless of their situation. Therapy is not only for moments of crisis. It’s also an opportunity to gain clarity, develop tools for resilience, and find fulfillment in your everyday life. Scheduling therapy when you first notice challenges arising can make a significant difference in your emotional and mental wellbeing. It’s time to consider therapy if you’re experiencing:

• Trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – struggling to process a painful experience or event from your past.

• Anxiety or depression – feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions like constant worry, sadness, or distress.

• Relationship issues – dealing with conflict, communication challenges, or loneliness within new or established relationships.

• Identity issues – experiencing uncertainty with who you are. Therapy helps individuals accept and embrace who they are as well as working toward achieving goals that lead them toward who they want to be.

• Life transitions – coping with major changes, such as career shifts, loss, divorce, or parenting challenges.

What Is the Goal of Individual Therapy?

Our counselors work with you to create a personalized plan that addresses specific challenges while working toward achievable goals.

• Build a strong therapeutic connection – establish a safe and trusting relationship with your therapist, so you feel supported every step of the way, creating a support system to help you thrive.
