All About Individual Therapy

 

Individuals attend therapy when something isn't going well, when they don't feel right, or when they are anxious, confused, or overwhelmed about decisions that need to be made. Sometimes a person can feel confused about or or overwhelmed by their own emotions and they can have a hard time processing their experiences. It can be hard to identify what is "wrong" when feelings of sadness, fear, or irritability begin to take over.

If you've begun to feel like life and relationships aren't going smoothly for you, when you're having trouble or discontentment at work, school, or home, if you're experiencing confusion about the future, dealing with hurt from the past, or struggling with the present. You are not the first person to feel this way. And you don't have to stay stuck in that uncomfortable place.

Individual therapy is designed to meet you where you are and help you sort through those confusing and overwhelming feelings. Therapy is a safe place to work through the things that are bothering you, figure out what's going on in your life, and reflect on what you want and how to get there.

 

Who Can Benefit From Individual Therapy?

Here at Found Hope Counseling, I welcome mostly adults who feel like they are going through "something." You might be dealing with something that feels too huge and overwhelming, so you're scared to bring it up to yourself, let alone share it with others. Or, you might be dealing with something that feels so small you think you shouldn't need help to get through it, even if it's causing you hurt.

We all have a “something” we need help with. From past traumatic experiences, of any nature, to dealing with changes in the present, like adjusting to a new normal or figuring out an uncertain future. These situations tend to affect us in ways we don’t expect. For example, your relationships with others, your sense of identity and self-worth, your body (migraines, muscle pain, ability to sleep, gi issues, etc), or your mood and decision-making. Whatever you're dealing with, we are here to guide you during this process and provide you with the tools to get through it.

By attending individual therapy, you are accessing a safe space that's just for you. Really. You can use this time to talk, ramble on, cry, laugh, or just feel your feelings. This is your time, and I am here to help you get the most out of it. So, regardless of what you're dealing with, if it's causing you negative feelings, like anxiety, sadness, irritability, numbness, or confusion, then I am confident you can benefit from Individual Therapy.

With individual therapy, you gain access to a safe space where you can take the time to pause, reflect and figure out what you want and how to get it. Each session gets to be completely about you.

I am passionate about helping people figure out the best version of themselves. To give them a space to heal and grow, and give them professional guidance and practical tools to achieve their goals.

Individual Therapy is tailored to your needs and preferences. I can help you gain clarity about what you might be struggling with and what you want out of your life, and provide you with the guidance and tools you’ll need during your healing journey. You are invited to try individual therapy and make up your mind - without any commitments. It's about finding what is a good fit for you.

Is Individual Therapy The Right Fit For You?

You don’t want to take up the space

The idea of attending therapy might make you feel like you are overreacting: “things are not so bad”, “these feelings will pass”, or “other people are facing worse stuff.”

Regardless of what you are facing, ask yourself whether you could benefit from taking a moment to yourself and accessing a space to sort through your feelings and thoughts with the guidance from a professional with experience helping people in similar situations.

You want to get through this by yourself

Therapy isn’t about admitting defeat. It’s the opposite. Attending therapy is an act of hope, resilience, and determination.

You know that you want to feel better and you are worthy of receiving support, we are all worthy of it. Just because you can get through the tough stuff by yourself doesn’t mean you have to.

Asking for help from someone who is equipt to provide professional guidance and tools can be a show of your own strength and confidence and self-care.

You’re terrified to think back

It’s natural to not want to go back to past stuff we would rather forget. You might be scared that by talking about it and remembering hurtful experiences it might make you feel worse.

It takes bravery to reach out and ask for support. Remember that you can take small steps towards a big goal and know that you will not be alone during this journey. I want to support and give you tools to manage and heal.
