One-on-One Conversation Based

Some individuals seek therapy for help with a specific issue or difficulty such as anxiety, depression, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, or work life balance. Others may want to improve themselves by changing their thinking patterns and behaviors by gaining more insight into their emotions, values, and relationships. If you’re looking for extra support and guidance through a difficult situation or you’re ready to move in a new direction in your life, Individual Therapy can help. Individual therapy is a one-person meeting with a licensed mental health professional in a safe and trusting environment. This allows the individual to express feelings and beliefs, gain understanding about their emotions, learn specific methods to cope with stressful situations and strong emotions, identify unhelpful ways of thinking, and generally, move toward desired goals.

Mediating communication and understanding that will elicit healing

There are several reasons why people seek family therapy. These can include unforeseen events that create chaos in the home, loss of a close friend/family member, a family member has active addiction or mental health struggles, divorce or split family guidance, and more. Problems are systematic meaning the problem affects the whole family system. Family therapy includes couples for 2-1 therapy or a family as a whole, adding as many members as necessary to mediate communication and understanding that will elicit healing. The goal is to create a safe space to process, share each perspective and create a sense of understanding, improve communication, and achieve shared goals as a family unit.

Enhance well-being through creative expression

Creative therapy is done in a 1-on-1 setting with the client and licensed mental health professional. Through creative expression and exercises the client is able to outwardly express their emotions to improve and enhance the psychological and social well-being of individuals of all ages and health conditions. Creative therapy can be used to compliment traditional mental health treatment to help improve skills, behaviors, and thought processing. Creating art can help you acknowledge and recognize feelings that have been lurking in your subconscious.
