Individual Therapy

Individual therapy (sometimes called psychotherapy or counseling) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained or licensed therapist—in a safe, warm, and confidential environment— to explore a variety of areas in the client’s life. Common areas of discussion in Individual Therapy include the client’s feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. 

Below is a list of common outcomes clients experience while practicing Individual Therapy:

• Exploring challenging or trying memories from their past

• Identifying aspects of their lives that they would like to change

• Better understanding themselves, their relationships, or their current life state

• Setting personal goals and working toward desired outcomes

FAMILY THERAPY

Family therapy is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples to nurture relationships and improve communication. Family therapists help individuals express needs appropriately, make compromises, and establish boundaries to strengthen the family unit.

Common reasons families seek Family Therapy:

• Processing a death in the family

• Coping with a lay-off

• Substance abuse

• A birth or adoption in the family

• Remarriage

• A child’s behavioral issues

Regardless of whether the current challenge is seen as an “individual” or a “family” issue, it is believed that involving the family is beneficial.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative form of psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and proven effective in resolving traumatic memories in the brain.

EMDR has been proven effective for the treatment of:

• Trauma

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Panic Disorders 

EMDR sessions are less focused on talk and are more focused on processing of memories.
