Individual Therapy Services

 

Deciding to pursue individual therapy is a difficult yet rewarding decision. It is not often that we give ourselves the time and attention to focus on our inner world of feelings, frustrations and desires.

 

Women:

 

Women often struggle with self-worth. Negative self talk such as “I’m not enough,” “What’s wrong with me?,” and “I feel like I don’t matter,” which usually leads them to depression, anxiety and overall feelings of unhappiness. They may find themselves coping through eating disorders, using drugs or drinking, shopping, being sexually promiscuous or using their relationships to define them. These actions may temporarily feel good, but usually they end up feeling worse.  Individual therapy can help women learn to value themselves.

 

 

Men:

 

Society has made it difficult for men to identify feelings and express themselves. Boys are often taught “not to cry”, to “tough it out”, and that “feelings are weak.”  Yet as adults, men are expected to be sensitive communicators by their significant others in their adult life.  Men often feel at a loss to meet these expectations, leading them to having feelings of inadequacy, frustration and anger. Individual therapy can provide men with the opportunity to identify our emotions, learn the tools of effective communication, and create feelings of self-empowerment.

Couples Therapy or Marriage Counseling Can Help You:

Relationships are challenging! Romantic relationships and or marriages are capable of bringing intense feelings of happiness and contentment as well as sadness, anger and anxiety.  In the beginning of all relationships, everything can feel so easy… both partners are excited to be together, interested in each other and appreciative of the differences between them. Yet somehow with time passing things often start to change, feelings of frustration may begin to develop and we can go from feeling understood and valued to feeling defensive, attacked and hopeless. Arguments, hurt feelings, emotional distance and sexual indifference may start to become the new norm for your relationship.

 

Why Does This Happen? The answer lies in each of our unique histories. If you think about it, our first model of how to do emotionally intimate relationships comes from our parents, the way they acted with us and with each other. In our own relationships, most of us find ourselves wanting to do things differently from our parents, but are unsure of what to do or where to begin.

 

How can couples therapy or marriage counseling help me?  Our team of marriage and family therapists will observe and coach the interactions made between you and your partner. Your therapist will need to understand the unique dynamics that each of you bring to the relationship. It is important to learn to  express resentments that have built up over time so the relationship can evolve.

 

The therapist will help facilitate awareness of both partner’s actions and communication styles and how one directly correlates the other keeping the relationship stuck in a negative cycle. The therapist will teach both partners more productive ways of understanding and relating to one another. By learning how to communicate your feelings from an open and non-defensive place, you and your partner will deepen and strengthen your emotional bond together. Both partners will began to feel safe to change their old interaction styles causing the relationship to have a breakthrough from it’s negative cycle.

 

All successful relationships and marriages require a sturdy foundation where both partners can feel more supported, understood and loved regardless of what future issues may arise.  In both couples therapy and marriage counseling, the couple is always the client.  Therefore, the therapist does not take sides.  Your therapist will create an environment where the intimacy, trust and romance can flourish.  Don’t wait any longer!  Began developing and sustaining a meaningful and loving relationship today!

Family therapy services can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger or conflict. Family therapy can also help you and your family members understand one another better and bring you closer together.  In therapy you can improve troubled relationships with your spouse, children, or other family members. Your therapist may address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the impact of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family.  To have a healthy home dynamic, all members of the family need to be supportive of one another’s views, beliefs, and goals.  Family therapy helps family members improve their communication skills and styles so that the family system can work together to resolve conflicts.

 

Therapy may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate.  Family therapy typically brings several family members together for therapy sessions. However, a family member may also see their family therapist individually. Family therapy can also be very helpful for families that are pursuing other types of mental health treatment at the same time.  These Families may have a member with a mental illness or addiction that requires individual therapy or rehabilitation treatment.

 

Our team of marriage and family therapists create a specific treatment plan around each family’s particular situation.  The therapist will teach valuable skills around building deeper connections between family members, so that your family can get through stressful times more steadily.  Once therapy is terminated, these skills will help the family system stay strong and connected.
