In individual therapy, the focus of treatment is on individual growth and well-being. As relationally oriented therapists, we help individual clients navigate the challenges of their interpersonal relationships and the impact that these relationships have on their individual functioning. Individual therapy can help you:
- increase self-understanding
- increase relational self-awareness (what you bring to your relationships)
- increase understanding of the impact of your family of origin on your life
- recognize patterns of behavior and impact on self and others
- develop individual skills to enhance relationships (couple, family, in-laws, children etc...)
- improve communication skills
- evaluate and make decisions about your relationships
- cope with and move on following divorce
- adapt to life stage transitions (i.e. transition to parenthood, empty nest, retirement)
- develop skills to cope with anxiety and depression
- address sexual concerns (see sex therapy for more details)
