Adult & Adolescent Therapy

Adult & Adolescent Therapy Q&A

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy is a therapeutic process that provides one-on-one sessions between you and me. I offer therapy for those aged 12 and older, encompassing adolescents and adults. 

Patients experience a confidential and collaborative relationship aimed at addressing various mental health concerns, emotional struggles, personal growth, and behavioral issues.

What issues can individual therapy address?

Individual therapy can address many issues, including:

Individual therapy assists in managing and coping with various mental health conditions, including:

• Anxiety disorders
• Depression
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

I  address other bhavioral health conditions as well.

Stress and anxiety

Individual therapy can help you cope with stress from various sources, including work, school, relationships, or life transitions.

Emotional difficulties

Counseling can help you process and manage overwhelming emotions like anger, grief, guilt, or sadness.

Behavioral challenges

Relationship struggles

If you’re having relationship problems, individual therapy can help improve communication issues or help you cope with issues related to separation or divorce.

What happens during an individual therapy session?

Individual therapy sessions typically involve a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can discuss their concerns freely. I use various therapeutic approaches based on your needs. Therapeutic techniques include Cognitve Behavioral Therapy, (CBT).

This approach identifies and alters negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to distress and emphasizes practical strategies to change behaviors and manage emotions.

Psychodynamic therapy

This approach explores how past experiences, especially in childhood, influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, aiming to enhance self-awareness and understand the underlying causes of distress.

Who is a candidate for individual therapy?

If you’re experiencing emotional distress, mental health issues, relationship problems, or seeking personal growth and self-improvement, individual therapy can be advantageous. 

Whether dealing with specific psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression or facing challenges in coping with life stressors, I can provide valuable support, guidance, and tools to enhance your well-being and promote personal growth.
