It's time to focus on improving your quality of life. Start your wellness journey here.

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a form of therapy in which a person works one-on-one with a licensed therapist. It is a collaborative process aimed at fostering mental health, personal growth, emotional resilience and overall well-being. Individual therapy provides a supportive space to process your thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviors. It can be a transformative experience, helping people gain insight, feel supported, provide catharsis, develop coping strategies, learn new skills and problem-solving strategies, and make positive changes in their lives.  Incorporating family therapy sessions into an individual therapy can also be a powerful support to achieving your individual therapy goals.   

The initial phase involves understanding the client's history, current issues, as well as treatment goals. This may include discussing past experiences, current life circumstances, and any symptoms or problems the client is experiencing. Based on the assessment, the therapist develops a personalized treatment plan. Various therapeutic techniques and interventions may be used, depending on the client’s needs and preferences. 

Therapy is different than going to your medical doctor in that it requires more than the occasional appointment. It requires regular and consistent sessions to create a positive therapeutic relationship, to appropriately address the situation, and to build on the momentum from session to session. Challenging yourself to try something new or nearing the core of the issue can be uncomfortable at times. 

Overall, individual therapy is a valuable tool to gift yourself as the ultimate self-care experience and quality of life enhancer. 

Families can provide us with an amazing foundation and with the most nurturing forms of love. As is to be expected in any family, there will be some conflict as we won’t always agree. It can also be difficult to sustain a healthy and happy family life when going through a stressful event or crisis together. When the challenges within the family become excessive or difficult to manage, you may want to consider family therapy. Family therapy helps build a strong foundation for healthy attachments. These attachments have an enduring impact on a child's physical, psychological, behavioral, and developmental well-being, as well as their future relationships. A combination of individual therapy and family therapy may be needed if appropriate. 

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that views the family as an interconnected system with its own structure, dynamics, and patterns of communication. The emphasis is on how each family member's behavior and emotions are interconnected and how they influence one another. Issues affecting one family member can impact the entire family system. Instead of focusing solely on individual members, family therapy considers the family as a whole and aims to create a supportive environment where families can identify specific goals that are meaningful and relevant to their unique circumstances. This may include addressing and working on the following:

- Improving your family's communication by learning new communication skills, exploring communication breakdowns, identifying patterns of communication which may be dysfunctional, and learning to communicate our needs effectively.

- Resolving conflicts in a constructive manner within the family by learning conflict resolution skills and problem-solving skills.

- Managing how your family navigates life transitions and life stressors by exploring challenges and developing effective coping strategies.

- Strengthening relationships by providing a supportive space for families to express emotions, make sure everyone in the family gets heard, helps foster empathy and understanding of each other. 

- Developing healthier ways of interacting by creating healthy boundaries, modifying dysfunctional behavior, adjusting family roles to promote healthier interactions and overcome codependency.

- Empowering you in the challenges of parenting by discovering new skills and tools, enhancing parenting techniques, and learning how to best support your child’s needs and struggles.
