Individual therapy can help people explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, understand themselves and others better, communicate more effectively, and work toward desired change. 

​

People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons, from coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with depression or anxiety, to simply desiring personal growth and greater self-knowledge. Some people seek therapy because they simply feel stuck or discontent, possibly without even understanding the source of these negative feelings.

​

A good therapist should help make sure that you are asking yourself the right questions, connect the dots on how your previous experiences shape your choices now, and help you explore what you need to do to move towards the life you want to have.
