Adults Therapy
From time to time, adults need a place to take stock of their lives, to clarify what is important and decide how to respond to life’s changes and challenges.
Individual therapy allows us to learn more about ourselves and to better manage events around us. Whether it’s a crisis such as divorce or the end of a relationship, or ongoing stress from job or school, our therapists are experienced in helping each individual create the changes that they want and need.
Adults often face a multitude of challenges, including work-related stress, relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors, and learn coping strategies to navigate these challenges effectively.
Emotional Support and Validation: Psychotherapy offers adults a non-judgmental environment where they can express their feelings, concerns, and fears, thereby receiving emotional support and validation from a trained professional.
Enhanced Coping Mechanisms: Psychotherapy equips adults with practical strategies and tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues, fostering resilience and overall well-being.
Improved Relationships: Therapy can be instrumental in helping adults navigate and improve their interpersonal relationships by developing effective communication skills and promoting empathy and understanding.
Healing Trauma: For adults who have experienced trauma, psychotherapy can be a transformative process, aiding in the resolution of past wounds and facilitating the journey towards healing and recovery.

What qualities should I look for when choosing a therapist?
There are countless forms of psychotherapy, each with their own understanding of what contributes to mental suffering and what remediates pain. Research has repeatedly identified the essential therapeutic characteristics that have the strongest beneficial effects. These factors are the ones to consider when choosing a therapist:- The therapist is receptive to your particular experience and takes the time to get to know you, your current circumstance, and your history. They listen with curiosity, ask knowledgeable questions, and work with you to form a joint understanding of what is affecting you and what is likely to help.
- Throughout the therapy, the therapist double-checks to see if they understand what you are describing. They offer alternative perspectives for you to consider, not a “truth” that they insist you accept.
- The therapist provides information about the issues you are working on to better guide your choices and approaches to the problem. They draw on clinical research to provide tools to better deal with situations that are currently problematic or overwhelming.
- The therapist understands the challenges and hurdles to be overcome when making life-changes. These challenges include the force of long-established beliefs about oneself and others, fears based on past experiences, and the role of powerful reflexes that can overload the human mind and cloud one’s thinking.
- The therapist is well-versed in methods that address these hurdles and presents them in a way that helps you to anticipate challenges and more easily surmount them.
- The therapist is emotionally supportive, genuine in their connection with you, and clear in their communication. They are committed to their own professional and personal growth.
