Our therapists are trained to help you understand the underlying causes of your concerns, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth.
What is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy, or psychotherapy or counseling, is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. This service is designed to help individuals explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they want to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
