Is therapy for me?
Therapy is a tool to give patients a better understanding of their own emotions and reactions. It addresses mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Therapy can be used as a communication tool, to promote self-esteem, and to take on new perspectives. Each person seeks out therapy for their own reasons. Therapeutic needs can range from needing a sounding board in their personal growth to working through psychological pain from childhood trauma.
It’s never too early or too late to get help. Therapy can be an effective treatment for a variety of issues, including but not limited to:
Anxiety
Depression
Body image issues
Low self-esteem
Difficulty regulating emotions
Struggles with interpersonal relationships
Anger issues
Financial, career, and academic stress
Recovery from trauma
Issues with sex, intimacy, and sexuality
Unexpected life transitions
Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
Rebuilding after grief and loss
Breaking habits/building new habits
Working through childhood or new trauma in a safe place
Individual Therapy (Telehealth or Outdoor Only)
Individual therapy consists of weekly (or biweekly and monthly) appointments that are approximately 50 minutes. Depending on the needs of each client, therapy can be short term or long term. I work closely with each client to create treatment plans that best match their individual goals.
Couples Therapy (Telehealth or Outdoor Only)
Couples Therapy consists of weekly or biweekly sessions that are 50 minutes long. Goals are created by treating the clients as a unit which allows for transparency and relationship building. I will work with the unit in order to facilitate healthy communication and to identify harmful patterns of interaction in the relationship.
Group Therapy (Telehealth Only)
Group Therapy will be announced in advance to allow time for clients to sign up and be screened for participation. Group meetings will be held for an hour and thirty minutes for a duration of 8 weeks.
Each group will have a fixed number of participants. Meetings will be closed to new partipants once they have begun.
The following groups will be offered throughout the year:
anxiety
depression
goal building
Group therapy aids in building relationships with individuals struggling through similar circumstances with communication facilitated by a therapist. Group therapy can also help with socializing skills.
