Individual Therapy Can Make A Difference!

Individual therapy provides a unique opportunity to receive support and experience growth, during challenging times in life.  It is a collaborative process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, confidential and judgment free environment.  This powerful experience of self-discovery enables clients to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviours, set personal goals and acquire insight, knowledge and tools, to achieve desired change. 

Common Reasons For Seeking Individual Therapy 

Individual therapy can be an important first step, in moving from where you are, to where you want to be.  Therapy can help those coping with a sudden and unexpected life challenge, chronic emotional difficulties, an unhealed wound from the past or a lack of direction about the future. The issues that bring clients to therapy vary and may include:

• Anxiety, chronic worry, racing thoughts

• Depression, feeling helpless, overwhelmed

• Trauma, domestic violence, sexual, emotional abuse

• Grief and loss experiences

• Self-Esteem; feeling “not good enough”

• Life Transitions; parenthood, midlife, divorce

• Managing Relationships; codependency, boundaries

• Multicultural Issues; women’s issues, identity

• Stress Management, health wellness, lifestyle changes

• Work/Life Balance; workplace harassment, return to work issues

• Personal development; finding and embracing authenticity

• Addictions; substances, internet, sex, love

Individual therapy gives you an opportunity to receive undivided attention to develop goals specific to your needs and circumstances.

How Can Individual Therapy Help Me?

Although everyone’s reasons for seeking therapy are unique, some common benefits of individual therapy include:

• An ability to gain perspectives and insights into personal issues

• Greater self-awareness and confidence in being authentic

• Freedom from habitual patterns that create “stuckness”

• Enhanced effectiveness and ability to cope

• Heightened ability to overcome obstacles to well-being
