Individual counseling gives the opportunity to talk through life transitions, personal growth, family matters, challenging times, past trauma, or many different types of situations that may cause stress, anxiety, or depression. It is also about helping assist individuals in changing negative beliefs and patterns to create a new story in order to live a healthier and more satisfying life. If you have just gone through a difficult divorce and are looking to put the pieces back together, counseling can assist you individually on your therapeutic journey. Individual counseling doesn't necessarily get rid of problems, but it provides individuals with the tools needed to manage them. The length of counseling may be short or long-term depending on the events that are being discussed. This will be determined by the therapist and yourself to come up with the best treatment plan that fits your therapeutic needs.
