Individual Counseling Services
I can help if you are feeling “not like yourself.” There are times in your life when you may feel more stressed, irritated, angry, or isolated than usual, or you are in emotional pain that is more difficult than day-to-day ups and downs.
My therapy process is unique and customized for everyone. I like our first meeting to include understanding some of the challenges you’ve been dealing with recently. Then, we’ll work together to identify underlying feelings or experiences that may interrupt your progress. Working through these issues will help you feel better. When you begin to feel better, you can work to establish or strengthen relationships.
Some of the most common issues addressed in individual therapy are:
Life Stress & Challenges
- Stress reduction techniques and practice
- Anxiety including: fearfulness, panic attacks, phobias
- Feeling sad and lonely
- Compulsive behaviors
- Alcohol management and other drug use
- Sexuality
- Medical issues
- The grieving process
Personal development
- Difficult life decisions
- Identity issues
- Meaning and purpose
Marriage & Family Issues
- Difficult situations with teens
- Relationship hurdles
- Feeling distant from your family or spouse
- Improved communication skills
- Family dynamics
- Listening and relating to loved ones
When you reach a point in your life when you want professional help, you want to talk to someone you trust and feel comfortable with. A good friend can listen, but a psychotherapist has the skills and professional training to help you learn to manage your feelings and thoughts when you're overwhelmed.
