Individual Therapy

Each of us is different. We have various temperaments and diverse experiences, we carry different stories, and each of us makes meaning of the world uniquely. This individuality is also embedded in and undeniably tied to the larger social surround(s). The conclusions we have drawn about ourselves and the world lead our engagement with life whether we realize it or not. Individual  therapy works to explore and rewrite the often unconscious meanings that come to rule our lives.
 

Clients/patients are often facing life transitions, relationship struggles, family conflict, parenting issues, grief and loss, the enduring impacts of trauma(s), stuck patterns they do not understand, or a feeling that something is "just not right." For some,  such experiences have led to more lasting struggles with depression or anxiety, and we work directly with these symptoms.  

"How did we get here?" "What do we want?" and "Where do we go now?" 

These are the questions people seeking relational therapy come in asking. Commonly, partners are not in the "same place" and may vary in level of hurt,  anger, frustration, commitment, or skills. This is okay and it is typical. Relationship work focuses on retracing the steps, noticing the often unconscious cycles and cruelties we subject (ourselves) and our loved ones to, and unearthing information that can help partnerships into space(s)  of growth, increased honesty, and appreciation for self and other.

There are diverse relationship constellations and all are welcomed and served with care, concern, and appreciation.    

In family therapy, we pay attention to the family as a whole. A family is a unit where all members impact and influence each other - even the silent or absent ones. Working as a group and with a common goal to unearth, we explore harmful patterns and "stuck places" to create new possibilities inrelating to one another.
