We offer individual therapy for individuals (13+) that focuses on problem-solving and stress management.
Our approach to individual therapy is collaborative and inclusive of our patients’ needs. Each individual attends an evaluation in which they discuss their presenting problem, needs and therapeutic goals with their therapist. We provide a client-centered environment that promotes autonomy, respect and empathy. On a weekly basis, you and your therapist will meet to process feelings, thought patterns, behaviors and discuss interventions that you can implement between sessions. The most important work in therapy is done outside of therapy.
We offer individual therapy for adolescents (13+) and adults that are suffering or experiencing the following life stressors:
Or these mental health concerns:
We are considerate of the trust it takes to bring your adolescent to therapy. During the first session, our therapists meet with the adolescent alone, the parent, and then both parties to discuss reasonable and achievable treatment goals. While there are limitations to confidentiality when providing therapy to adolescents, our therapists respect the therapeutic relationship and will be mindful when discussing progress with parents concerning their adolescents. Our goal is to promote communication and harmony between our adolescent clients and their parents. Sessions usually consist of individual sessions with the adolescent, and the parent, and at least monthly family sessions.
Our therapists primarily subscribe to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapy or “talk therapy” that is structured in a way that helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them effectively.
CBT can be a helpful tool (either alone or in combination with other therapies) in treating depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or eating disorders. An individual does not have to necessarily suffer from mental health to reap the benefits of CBT. This type of therapy is also an effective tool to help anyone to learn how to better manage stressful life situations.
Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a strength-based approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building (solution-focused thinking) rather than problem-solving thinking (focused on the reason why a problem emerged).
The approach is that people are the meaning makers and are ultimately the craters of their own realities. Change in life is inevitable. Because individuals create their own reality, they have the power to change it for the better.
Therapists who practice SFBT are skilled conversation facilitators drawing from the patient’s own experiences; the therapist uses a variety of techniques and questions to demonstrate inner strength, resources, and desires within the individual.
