What Is Individual Counseling?

Individual counseling is one-on-one therapy designed to support a person’s mental health and wellness. During individual therapy sessions, you meet with a licensed therapist who helps you explore challenges, identify strengths, and work toward goals that matter to you. We support children and adults of all ages and experiences and tailor each appointment to fit the client’s unique needs.

When Individual Counseling Can Help

Many people seek individual therapy when life begins to feel heavier or more confusing than usual. You may notice changes in your mood, relationships, or ability to manage stress. You might feel unsure whether counseling services are right for you, yet still sense that something is getting in the way of your emotional well being. Therapy offers a place to talk openly, process what you are experiencing, and understand patterns that may be affecting your daily life.
