Adult Individual Therapy

There is no wrong reason to go to therapy, and nothing has to be “wrong” with you to go see a therapist. Talking with a friend, family member, or mentor can often be very helpful. But in some cases, it might be more beneficial to talk with a trained professional.

There are so many misconceptions about what it means to talk to someone, and our society often tells us that sharing our emotions is weak or shameful. That stigma is often why people don’t seek help in the first place. But here’s the truth: therapy can be a really useful tool and can help with a range of issues, from anxiety to stress, relationships, trauma, or environmental stressors. Therapy can help you:

Feel more confident
Improve relationships
Take control of your life
Understand yourself and find a healthier ‘you’
Make sense of your past and its impact on your present
Find meaning, purpose, or direction
Succeed in your professional life
Improve your physical health
Overcome fears
Reduce unhealthy behaviors like binge eating, substance abuse, sex addiction, co-dependency, gambling, or gaming

Even if you’re a generally well-rounded and healthy person, it's likely you’d benefit from therapy. A therapist can help you develop resilience for future challenges, find happiness, and generally help your become the best version of yourself.

If you’re experiencing any of the following situations, therapy may be especially helpful:

Your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors are affecting your quality of life (e.g. you’re not sleeping well, you’re using unhealthy coping behaviors, or you’re avoiding things you usually like doing)
You feel like your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors are starting to affect your relationships with friends or family
Distress is impacting your performance at work or school
Your friends or family members have told you they’re concerned
Your body doesn’t feel good – like headaches, digestive issues, breathing difficulties, muscle tension, fatigue, or generally feeling run down
You’re exhausted or burnt out
