Therapy & Counseling for Individuals

Psychotherapy is the leading treatment choice for easing emotional distress and problems of daily life. The psychotherapeutic experience involves a one-on-one meeting with a therapist, typically on a weekly basis, to address and resolve both interpersonal and intrapersonal problems. Ongoing psychotherapy is an extremely enriching and useful experience that promotes authenticity, emotional resilience, growth and self-actualization.

Therapy can help to resolve barriers that can interfere with positive experiences such as joy, compassion, mindfulness, positive self-esteem, spiritual connection, and love. Some describe psychotherapy as a journey and see the psychotherapist as a guide, leading the way to make important connections about how their life experiences have shaped them and finding new paths towards brighter futures.

“If we hope to live

not just moment to moment,

but in true consciousness

of our existence,

then our greatest need

and most difficult achievement

is to find meaning in our lives.”

~ Bruno Bettelheim
