Individual Counseling In A Nutshell
When you think of counseling and therapy, one of the first images that pops into your head might be of a client lying on a couch, telling their woes to a clinician with a clipboard who asks intermittent questions like “how does that make you feel?” But the reality of individual counseling is very different, and its benefits can be huge for participants!
What It Looks Like
The idea is to help the client feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with their therapist in a safe, confidential environment. That way, they can talk about and work through things that trouble them with someone they trust. Counseling is one of the most versatile treatment options out there and is very helpful for problems like
anxiety, trauma, and depression. Not only that, but it’s also good for life issues that many people struggle with, such as coping with grief, increasing your self-confidence, overcoming
problems with intimacy, bettering your relationships, finding emotional balance, and more.
Why It’s Effective
When it comes to
mental health services, there are lots of options out there – group therapy, family therapy,
marriage therapy,
child therapy, and more. But with individual counseling, you are at the center of the proceedings and have your therapist’s undivided attention. The more you confide in your therapist, the more they understand you, and the more effectively they can guide you. Whether you need help with a mental illness, have to make a big life decision, or just need a listening ear, individual counseling is a great place to start. Come in and
speak to one of our therapists to see if individual counseling is right for your situation.
We also offer options for
marriage counseling and family therapy as well as individual counseling sessions.
