Individual Therapy
Individual therapy (also called counseling or psychotherapy) at Heartwork Counseling Center is a collaborative process where you meet one-on-one with a trained therapist. Our therapists will provide you with a safe, validating, and supportive environment where you will be encouraged to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Therapy involves talking about very important, personal, and sensitive topics. Your decision to start therapy is a bold act of courage to address particular issues in your life. And while opening up and being vulnerable may not be comfortable, it is never weakness. Your choice to seek out therapy also speaks of your desire to grow, heal, and know yourself on a deeper, more authentic level. In our experience, effective treatment requires your active participation and planning. To some extent, our ability to help you depends on how open you can be about yourself and your ideas, feelings, and actions. We ask that you arrive on time to each appointment, come prepared to use your session according to your needs, share openly, and take risks.
Individual therapy has many benefits, and it is not without its own set of challenges. Since it involves a personal exploration of your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors while addressing difficulties in your life, you may experience some discomfort. However, the relationship that you establish with your therapist is likely to alleviate much of your uneasiness and help you overcome most of the difficulties you may encounter.
Therapy at Heartwork Counseling Center is a highly personalized, experiential, and collaborative endeavor that can help you grow and mature in unique ways. As a group of dedicated professionals, we are committed to walking with you in this process of change, regardless of what it looks like or how long it takes.
