Adult Individual Therapy
One-to-One sessions to support individuals to improve overall well-being, develop skills to better cope with life's challenges and/or internal struggles and support personal growth.
Some common topics focused on in individual therapy include:
Anxiety or chronic stress, depression or low mood, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, anger management, burnout or work stress, overwhelm or overstimulation and irritability, personal growth and self understanding.
These are often worked through using these core strategies:
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps people understand and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, a person can improve how they feel.
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured form of psychotherapy that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce harmful behaviors. It combines principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. DBT teaches practical skills to help people stay present, tolerate distress, manage emotions, and interact more effectively with others.
Trauma-Informed
Trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding the impact of trauma and creating a safe, empowering therapeutic environment where healing can occur gradually and respectfully. This technique does not refer to one specific method. Instead, it guides how therapy is delivered while incorporating different techniques such as: grounding exercises, somatic strategies, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness practices and EMDR informed interventions.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy teaches individuals to focus their attention on the present moment with openness and without judgment. It helps people become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations so they can respond to them in healthier ways rather than reacting automatically.
Mindfulness approaches are often used to treat conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic pain. They also help people develop greater emotional balance and self-awareness.
