Keeping one’s life on track is challenging.
Many people find their life isn’t going the way they would like it to go.
They feel disconnected from their lives, their sense of purpose, and the people they love.
Life feels overwhelming with all the joy sucked out of it.
Sometimes, you need a boost to stay on track.
Individual therapy can help.
In individual psychotherapy, we meet one-on-one to address your concerns about your life and health.
We work together to understand better some thoughts and behaviors that hold you back from living the way you’d like to live.
We’ll look at both current and past stressors and use a variety of tools. Some tools are more analytical, and others are more feelings-based.
Both types of tools help you get back to your life and feel better in your mind and body.
Do I need therapy?
If you are unsure if psychotherapy is right for you, maybe you’re afraid that others will see you as “weak” if you seek help.
After all, isn’t everyone dealing with aches and pains, stressful relationships, or some nasty stuff in their past?
Experiencing worry, sadness, and irritability in response to life stressors is normal. Pain, chronic health conditions, and stress affect our relationships, social lives, work lives, and even our sense of who we are.
People often need help to get through the emotional storm that comes from all life’s stressors.
Talking brings about healing.
You might think that “therapy is nothing but talking.” Maybe talking sounds good, but you wonder how talking can help.
Foremost, “just talking” is incredibly powerful.
How often do you sit down with yourself and examine your ways of thinking and relating to others? Do you often think about whether your way of living in the world is working for you?
Sometimes, what you need is a voice of reason that does not sound like yourself. Insight comes from hearing yourself through someone else.
Individual therapy could change your life.
And it’s not “just talking,” either. Therapy affects you on a biological level. We know therapy changes your brain and positively affects your immune system.
The relationship you have with your therapist is one of the most important parts of therapy. Spending time with someone who reflects and holds space for your emotions helps regulate your nervous system (which affects how you experience pain). It also strengthens your resilience to stress.
Psychotherapy has helped many people get their lives back. I would love to help you get back to living the life you want to live.
