Individual Therapy for People Struggling with the Relationships that Matter the Most to Them
I often hear clients say “I don’t know what to do.” Maybe things haven’t felt right in your relationship for while, or you’ve just learned something that turned your world upside down—an affair, a hidden addiction, or a spouse who suddenly says they want a divorce. Perhaps someone you love is struggling with addiction or mental health issues, and you’re trying to figure out how to support them without losing yourself in the process. You may be worried about your child - young or grown - who is struggling with their mental health, and it’s affecting them and the rest of the family.
When an important relationship feels uncertain, painful, or suddenly very different from what you thought it was, it can be hard to know what’s yours to fix, what isn’t, and what to do next. Individual therapy is a place to feel supported without judgment and begin to make sense of what’s happening.
Notice your patterns
Look at patterns in your relationships, behaviors, reactions, and the ways you’ve learned to cope.
Explore past experiences
Look at how childhood experiences may still influence your relationships, reactions, and what gets triggered today.
Identify emotions
Explore what you’re feeling, what you notice in your body, and what those emotions might be telling you.
Regulate your nervous system
Learn to recognize when you’re activated and discover ways to feel grounded and present
Examine your decision making
Explore what’s driving your decisions - fear, guilt, resentment, obligation, or what matters most to you.
Therapy is a place to feel supported and understood, gain clarity about yourself and your relationships, and make thoughtful decisions about the direction you want to take
Voyager upon life's sea,
To yourself be true,
And whatever your lot may be,
Paddle your own canoe.
