Sometimes called "psychotherapy": or "counseling", Individual Therapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist-in a safe, caring, and confidential environment-to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. Clients will work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.Sessions can be conducted either in-person or via our virtual online office.
