INDIVIDUAL & GROUP WORK
Individual Work
Sometimes a general discomfort, a crisis, or a feeling of being stuck motivates people to seek therapy. Other times, a person may wish to break unsettling patterns of behavior or ways of relating. A person may be in a state of despair or transition. And oftentimes, people are interested in understanding how their early relationships affects their current functioning.
Therapy can help identify and clarify feelings. It can also answer the “whys”. This opens doors to the changes you want to make in your thinking, behavior, and how you perceive and relate to others. When we understand our behavior and (in)action, we are armed with the ability to change. The first step is becoming aware. Once we are aware of our conscious and unconscious motivations, we can work to make change. The therapist guides you by listening without judgment, remaining objective, and supportive.
There also may be times where “homework” is needed; some light journaling when you are trying to master new ways of thinking, doing, and feeling. Replacing negative thinking and irrational thoughts with a "kinder voice" requires taking some action-oriented steps.
