Individual Psychotherapy Services
Individual Psychotherapy
My perspective on individual therapy informs my approach, which is to help my clients unearth the root causes of their issues and not just look for symptom relief. One can look for and appreciate symptom relief initially but for long term health, well-being, and progress toward diminishing (and hopefully ending) one’s struggles, we need to address the causation by lessening anxiety and depression, insecurity, low self esteem, relational conflict, and addictive behavior. My goal for my clients is to thrive in every facet of their lives not just survive.
Individual therapy is helpful when struggling/dealing with:
- Abandonment issues
- Trauma, abuse, neglect
- Sense of self-worth/esteem issues
- Chronic worry and anxiety
- All types of depression
- Stress-related issues
- Relationship issues
- Self-abandonment
- Infidelity
Without a doubt decades of independent research and my clinical experience over the past 17 years shows psychotherapy to be the most effective treatment modality in helping people overcome debilitating personal experiences and issues. Furthermore, that therapy has more immediate benefits, longer lasting results, and less symptom relapse over time. Moreover, people who overcome their issues go on to lead much happier, healthier and more productive lives.
The foundation for all of these positive benefits is the therapeutic alliance, one of genuine rapport and intrinsic trust between the client and their Counselor. When a Counselor incorporates their clinical experiences, the latest research findings, and a broad understanding of their client’s history and issues we can see amazing healing, change, and growth.
