Individual Counseling
Deciding it’s time to reach out for help is a big moment.
Seeking help means you’ve hit a point in your life and are ready for something to change.
It’s tiring feeling the way you do, and there’s a belief – even a small one – that things can be different.
You’re motivated to figure some stuff out and work on yourself, and you know that you need someone to help guide you through it.
Take Carmen* – the people pleaser.
Carmen says she’s a chronic people pleaser and doesn’t feel like she even knows what she wants or needs anymore.
She’s spent so much energy trying to meet everyone else’s needs or worrying about hurting people’s feelings that she feels exhausted and resentful of the people she loves most.
She knows she doesn’t want to keep doing this, but the desire to please happens automatically.
David’s* wife wants out of the relationship.
David’s wife of 15 years told him that she wanted a divorce. David feels devastated and keeps trying to understand what happened and what is happening now.
He wonders, “How did I get here? How will we afford two homes? What about the kids?”
He’s having a hard time concentrating at work and sleeping at night. He feels frayed, sad, and scared and knows he needs a place to process everything happening and how to move through it.
Rosemary’s* relationship is in trouble.
Rosemary is having some difficulties in her relationship with her wife.
While she believes there are some couple-related things to work on, Rosemary knows that she has some past trauma with her mom getting triggered, causing some significant reactions in her interactions with her wife.
She wants to work on her triggers and trauma before they do couples counseling. She’s ready to process some events from her childhood and sees how they have been holding her back and causing some problems in her relationship.
Individual counseling can help – whatever the problem.
We will invite you into one of our cozy offices when you see us. You’ll settle in, get comfortable on the couch, and feel safe and held here. We are here to listen and actively engage with you and your goals. We will focus on themes as we ask curiosity questions and invite you to explore yourself and your experience.
Every person’s experience is unique because what every person needs is different. For instance, Carmen, David, and Rosemary had various issues to address, and individual counseling provided them with the outlet they needed to find a resolution.
Our work with you is about you and your specific goals. If your goals are unclear, that’s alright because we can help you identify what makes you stuck.
Dealing with persistent issues by yourself is not the answer. Individual counseling provides access to someone who listens, understands, and does not judge. We aim to make your life better – accessible from what troubles you. Contact us today for more information on how we can help.
