Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy is a personal journey that allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment. It provides a unique opportunity to gain insights, develop coping strategies, and address personal challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or life transitions.

This one-on-one process fosters self-discovery and personal growth, helping you work toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapy Myths

Some common myths about individual therapy, along with explanations to debunk them.

"Therapy is only for people with severe mental health issues."

Therapy benefits anyone who wants to better understand themselves, work through life’s challenges, or foster personal growth. Many people attend therapy to manage stress, improve relationships, set goals, or simply gain insight into themselves.

"Therapy means there’s something ‘wrong’ with me."

Seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. It shows a willingness to address issues and make positive changes. Therapy is about learning new ways to cope, grow, and thrive, not about “fixing” someone.

"Talking to friends and family is the same as therapy."

Friends and family can be great support, but they’re not trained professionals. Therapists offer a neutral, nonjudgmental perspective, evidence-based methods, and confidentiality, creating a safe space for deeper exploration and growth.

"Only people who can’t solve their own problems go to therapy."

Therapy isn’t about lacking strength or problem-solving abilities; it’s about having the courage to seek support. Many people who are highly capable and resilient seek therapy to gain new perspectives or manage complex life situations.

"Therapists just tell you what to do."

Therapists don’t give direct advice or tell clients what to do. Instead, they work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to explore their own thoughts and solutions that align with their values and goals.

"If I start therapy, it will go on forever."

Therapy can be short-term or long-term depending on your needs and goals. Some people work through specific issues in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from ongoing support for longer-term growth.
