Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a joint process between the therapist and the patient. This type of psychotherapy focuses on the individual and helps them work through a variety of emotional difficulties and mental illnesses, with the primary goal being to increase a person’s understanding of their thought and behavior patterns.

The therapy process begins with discussing your life, relationships, and significant events to understand you better. Problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are explored, linking them to your needs and experiences. Ultimately, negative core beliefs are brought to light, allowing you to change unhelpful thought patterns, and behaviors.

Areas of Specialization

  • Treatment for anxiety helps individuals manage excessive worry, fear, and physical symptoms through therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication. The most effective therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which teaches skills to challenge anxious thoughts and gradually face fears.

    Other therapies like Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can also be helpful. Lifestyle practices like mindfulness, exercise, and healthy sleep support recovery. The goal is to reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, and build long-term coping strategies.

  • Treatment for depression helps individuals manage and reduce symptoms like persistent sadness, loss of interest, and low energy. The most common and effective approach is talk therapy, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps change negative thought patterns. Other options include Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), psychodynamic therapy, and behavioral activation.

    The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms, improve daily functioning, and support long-term emotional well-being.

  • Grief therapy helps individuals cope with the emotional pain of losing a loved one, a relationship, health, or other meaningful aspects of life. It provides a safe space to express emotions, process the loss, and begin healing. Therapists may use approaches like person-centered therapy, CBT, narrative therapy, or mindfulness to support clients. 

    The goal is not to “get over” the loss, but to understand it, find meaning, and rebuild life in a healthy, compassionate way. Therapy also supports those experiencing prolonged or complicated grief that affects daily functioning.

  • Anger management therapy helps individuals understand their anger, identify triggers and learn healthy ways to express it. Through techniques like CBT, mindfulness, and emotional regulation skills, clients learn to respond calmly instead of reacting impulsively.

    The goal is to gain control over anger, reduce conflict, improve communication, and build healthier relationships. Therapy also addresses the deeper emotions—like hurt or fear—that often lie beneath anger.

  • Treatment for trauma and PTSD focuses on helping individuals process distressing experiences, reduce symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance, and restore a sense of safety and control. Common therapeutic approaches include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness techniques. Support groups and medications, such as antidepressants, may also be part of a comprehensive care plan. 

    The overall goal is to improve emotional regulation, daily functioning, and overall well-being.
