Individual Therapy

Psychologists and counselors don’t prescribe medication, but we will consult with about whether medication would be helpful, and refer you to a medical doctor if appropriate. Whether you are already on medication for problems such as depression, anxiety or ADHD, or you are trying to avoid using medication at all, therapy will help you to understand the root causes of your problems, deal with your feelings, and learn to live a happier, more satisfying life.

Our treatment approach is multifaceted in that we combine brief, solution focused approaches with other evidence-based best practices, such as cognitive behavioral, humanistic and family systems therapies. All of these approaches focus on quickly identifying the problem and then working collaboratively with you and other providers where appropriate (e.g., medical doctors), to generate solutions and strategies that are S.M.A.R.T (i.e., specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time limited).

Only you can decide if the benefits of counseling outweigh the risks of doing nothing. We often refer to the times when we realize that we need and should seek help, as “moments of clarity”. These times can be fleeting, so the best possible time to make a commitment to yourself is when you have made the move to actually seek help. If you consider the alternative, which is that not getting the help you need might lead to even greater costs financially, psychologically and relationally, counseling is a worthwhile investment in yourself.
