What is Individual Counseling?
This type of counseling is an one-on-one counseling targeted at solving individual issues.
As your therapist I work to ensure therapy is a safe environment. In this kind of environment you are free to explore, examine, and work on yourself.
I will cultivate feelings of care and understanding to foster a healthy therapeutic alliance. By maintaining such a relationship I further enable your ability to obtain insight and experience, and ultimately change.
Family or couples counseling may also help with individual issues, though individual counseling is a great place to start. If your struggles are found to be relational in nature family or couples counseling may be recommended.
Who can benefit from Individual Counseling?
Many can benefit from individual counseling. If you are struggling there is a good chance therapy can help reduce that struggle or help you cope with said struggle. At Reciprocity Counseling we offer services for teens and adults.
What you might learn in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I focus on how both insight and experience and lead to lasting change.
I help you explore “core hurts” or primary emotions to help you better understand your thoughts and behaviors.
I not only help you produce change, I seek to help you understand that process of change so you can replicate that change on your own in the future.
Thoughts and behaviors are the back bone of our mental health. By helping you understand and change your thoughts and behaviors you will be able to overcome just about any struggle.
I discuss models such as Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Understanding your needs and how they effect your thoughts and behaviors can help to achieve lasting change.
We often get stuck in a ineffective homeostasis as a family. Through understanding the cycles and processes maintaining that homoeostasis we are better able to break free and produce meaningful change.
I like using metaphors and analogies to help discuss complex topics by breaking them down and making them easier to understand.
I will help you and your loved ones reduce conflict through the expression of “core hurts” and emotionally corrective experiences.
Through the years I have founds that the best tools to build better relationships is through fostering feelings of care and understanding.
As a LMFT I focus on systems theory or how everything effects everything. By understanding the system as a whole we are better able to produce change.
There are too many possible ways therapy can help to list. If you have questions about whether or not I can help, reach out and contact me. I would be happy to answer any of your questions.
