Individual Therapy
Finding an individual therapist who is skilled & experienced, who you feel comfortable with, who will challenge you, who you connect with, & who you can be real and honest with can sometimes seem like too big of a wish list.
But I want to challenge you a bit. Is that really too much to ask? Individual therapy is an incredibly personal, intimate, and potentially transformative experience and how can it truly be all that it is meant to be without those qualities in a therapist? Not every nice therapist that you connect with has the skills and experience you need and not every skilled therapist has a personality and style that you can connect with. All of the skill and training in the world will mean nothing if you can’t open up and be yourself. A therapy relationship is just that: a relationship! Which means that you simply are not going to connect and feel like your true self with everyone. AND THAT’S OK!! Sometimes finding the right therapist takes a little trial and error which of course is frustrating, but you owe it to yourself and all the potential that lies in the therapy process to find that good fit! I’d love the opportunity to see if I might be that “good fit” for you! Let’s chat today!
Do you ever sit back and think, "Man! This is not where I thought I’d be…” or “Wow, this is not how I imagined _______ would feel…” or even “How did I get here or let it get this bad?”
Maybe your thoughts are louder and scream, “I can’t live another moment like this!”, but you feel stuck…..wanting a change, but not knowing where to start. Whatever brings you here, I’m so glad you took that first step.
You may find yourself feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, hurt, or exhausted.
Maybe even a little hopeless at times. Perhaps you even feel guilty for how you’re feeling which then just compounds things. You don’t feel like yourself anymore. You find yourself going through the motions….or maybe you’re not…..and you’ve noticed you’re not coping well at all anymore and know something needs to change.
You’ve tried talking to your friends, co-workers, spouse or family, but somehow you still feel stuck.
You know they mean well, but sometimes you just feel like no one quite understands.
You feel alone.
It’s time to reach out to someone outside your circle. Someone neutral & objective. Someone who just might understand! Someone with training and experience in this kind of thing who can provide a safe, non-judgmental space to listen and walk alongside you while also teaching new coping skills and helping you to find the new path you’re looking for. Someone who can help you be resilient! Individual therapy might be just what you need!
I’d love to be that person for you. Take a look around my site, see if anything resonates with you, read more about me here, and let me know if you have any questions or if you want to schedule something! You can start by scheduling a free 20 minute phone consultation here.
