Individual Therapy

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Many people turn to friends when they are in need of another opinion or to share ideas. In large part this is to help compare the self with others to see if s/he is “normal”. Some things are safe to share and compare with friends and others are not. Therapy allows an individual to explore different options in a safe and confidential environment. This allows the client decide what is best for him/her.

It takes courage to be your true self. It may mean admitting that you are different from those closest to you. This places us at risk of being rejected and hurt or being loved and liked for you really are. Learning to like and love the self is just one of the many reasons a person may enter therapy. Some other common reasons are:

• Coping with life changes
• Contemplating a major decision
• Wanting more from life
• Wanting to improve him/herself
• Depressed
• Would just like a different perspective
• Understanding the self
