• Individual Psychotherapy
  
  What It Is
  Individual psychotherapy can be defined as an intentional interpersonal relationship wherein a trained therapist employs theory and techniques to aid a client or patient in problems of living. Each trained therapist adheres to a chosen theoretical orientation, providing them with theory and a framework to conceptualize and treatment plan.
  

• When It’s Needed
  Individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons, from coping with loss, to treating depression or anxiety. Individual psychotherapy can also be used to explore oneself and foster personal growth and reflection. The treatment occurs in one on one sessions, usually once a week. The environment is built on a foundation of trust, confidentiality, and empathy. Through therapy, the clinician and the client actively explore challenging memories, identify aspects of our lives that we want to improve, and form better relationships with others. We identify values, and set goals to ensure that you are living according to those values.

• Potential Benefits
  The benefits of therapy are numerous; they include: improved self esteem, improved mental health, building emotional intelligence, improving the ability to handle stressful situations with success, alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and help clarify career/education goals.
