Why Individual therapy?
Do you feel stuck in your life that cause you to feel trapped and defeated? When you feel stuck in exhausting life situations, this can prevent you from achieving your dreams, leading satisfying lives, and creating fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. Imagine what you would you do if you no longer feel stuck?
Seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It requires a lot of strength and courage to know that you need support and to take that step to reach out for professional help.
With individual therapy, you can be ‘unstuck’ and you can feel better. You and your therapist will work together collaboratively to achieve your goals. She will provide you with a non-judgmental and safe space to tap into your inner world, so you can become more aware of yourself, your thoughts, and feelings. To help you heal and move forward, you and your therapist can dig deep into the roots of your problems to resolve emotional wounds. Therapy can help you feel strong and capable and be open to yourself and others around you.

Session Length
Therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length. For assessment purposes, the initial session is 80 minutes.
Frequency of Therapy
Generally, we recommend clients to start therapy on a weekly basis in order to build momentum, so that we can see the quickest change happen. For some clients, we understand that weekly sessions are not feasible due to financial reasons and/or time constraints. In these cases, we can schedule biweekly sessions.
Duration of Therapy
The number of sessions required for each client varies from one person to another. While some clients require only a few sessions, others may need therapy for several months. This depends on the individual's needs, their goals, nature of their problem, their symptoms, and their history of symptoms.
