What is Individual Counseling?

Individual counseling is a form of therapy designed to help people identify and address problem areas in their life that may be holding them back, such as trauma, trust issues, loss, stress, or mental health challenges. It focuses on healing and enhancing your ability to cope with life challenges.

Life can often feel overwhelming - juggling work, relationships, and personal expectations. You might find yourself feeling stuck, uncertain, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and there is a path forward. Individual counseling can help you rediscover clarity, heal from past hurts, and build a more fulfilling life.

Through counseling, individuals learn to:

• Clearly define your own needs and desires. People often come to counseling very clear about what they don’t want but uncertain of what they would rather have instead. We can help you gain the clarity you need to move towards something new.

• Better understand yourself and your strengths. Learning to love and accept yourself and challenge negative self-talk can be instrumental to your success and happiness.

• Learn to communicate expectations and boundaries clearly and with confidence so that you can have health, balanced relationships.

• Process trauma and develop healthy coping strategies so that you can move through life’s challenges with confidence and peace.

• Heal from past hurts and loss so that you can move forward with a renewed sense of hope.

Common Reasons People Put off Counseling

It's common for individuals to encounter various challenges when they are ready for change. One of the most frequent obstacles is uncertainty about what to expect. Many people are new to therapy or have had a previous bad experience that makes them hesitate. Finding a counselor who is a good fit for you is one of the most important steps to having a positive experience. We offer a free consultation so that potential clients can have a risk free way to gauge if our counselors are a good fit for them.

Another challenge is fear of digging up the painful past. We believe that it is the client’s decision when and how they talk about their past. We believe that positive change comes from moving forward in new ways and sometimes talking about the past can be helpful but at other times it is completely unnecessary. Either way we treat the past as a useful resource of strengths and experience to draw on as we focus on moving towards the life you want.

Financial concerns are another big reason people put off seeking help, either because they have other financial obligations they must meet or because they have a hard time prioritizing their own needs. Like addressing problems with your physical health, sometimes waiting leads to more costly treatment down the road. We have worked very hard to make therapy financially accessible by offering a sliding fee program, accepting a variety of insurance plans, providing flexible scheduling, and using a model of therapy called Solution focused brief therapy that is designed to help clients experience improvement in the fewest number of sessions.

You may have been considering counseling for a while but haven’t taken the step to reach out yet. It's understandable to hesitate—after all, making time for yourself can feel challenging. But now more than ever, investing in your emotional health is crucial. Therapy doesn’t just help you survive life’s challenges; it helps you thrive. Whether you're navigating a transition, dealing with stress, or simply looking for more inner peace, there's no better time than now to invest in yourself.

Repairing the Foundational Cracks through Therapy

If there are small cracks in your life’s foundation, they can widen when life stressors come into play, such as:

• Health problems

• Financial difficulties

• Major life changes

• Job-related challenges

• Losing a loved one

All these factors put pressure on your ability to cope, causing cracks to deepen. The sooner you work to strengthen your ability to manage stress, self-regulate, and communicate, the easier it will be to cope with life’s challenges when they happen.

Unfortunately, many people wait until problems have taken over before seeking help. In fact, individuals wait an average of 11 years from onset of problems and entering counseling. At this point there is a build up of pain and the problem is often impacting your work, relationships, and health; potentially making it more challenging to address the symptoms and heal.

Stigma is one of the major reasons people delay seeking help. It’s important to realize you are not alone. 1 in 5 adults experience mental health symptoms, with 1 in 20 adults experiencing a serious mental illness.

How a Systemic Therapist Can Help

A systemic therapist (also known as a marriage and family therapist) can be a valuable resource for individuals seeking to improve their life. Systemic therapist view clients through the lens of not just the individual but the individual in their unique context of family, culture, work, relationships, etc. In individual counseling, clients have the opportunity to learn new strategies for communication, self-awareness, and coping with stress, anxiety or depression. The counselor helps clients learn to express themselves, create a support system, and hold clear boundaries. Through therapy, you can work through life challenges, fostering a healthier and more fulfilling life.

A licensed marriage and family therapist works with you to:

• Understand and communicate your needs without conflict using positive communication strategies.

• Feel comfortable and confident in your relationships by setting healthy boundaries.

• Process grief and loss and move through sadness and anger in meaningful ways.

• Address feelings of hopelessness that lead to suicidal thoughts or self-harm.

• Heal from past hurts and move forward with a sense of hope and renewal.

• Gain clarity about what you want most in your life and relationships.

• Identify everyday actions that can begin moving you in that direction.

• Discover what is working well, so you can do more of it.

Therapists trained in individual counseling help you to

1) identify and overcome challenges and

2) develop the skills you need to effectively move through challenges in the future. 

In fact, according to AAMFT, over 90% of clients report improvements in their emotional health, and two-thirds report an improvement in their overall physical health. Conversely, 90% report improved mental health.

A good counselor will offer new perspectives and insights into issues you’ve probably never considered before. Unlike family members or friends, a professional counselor is not personally involved in your life, holds no judgment, and offers unbiased support. Their role isn’t to take sides or tell you what to do—they help you to identify challenges, build relational skills, and help you to rebuild your life.

We provide a safe space where you can feel accepted and respected no matter what your challenges are. Rest assured, any concerns you have on this topic will be handled with respect, knowledge, and professionalism by your counselor.
