Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy involves working with a therapist on a one-on-one basis to work on past and current issues identified by the client. The therapist’s goal is to help the client fulfill his or her life goals, grow beyond the negative patterns from the past, and empower them to move forward with freedom in their life.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a form of therapy that involves all the members of a nuclear or extended family. A pair of therapists may conduct it—often a man and a woman—to treat gender-related issues or serve as role models for family members. The therapist’s treats the entire family as the unit of treatment, and emphasizes such factors as relationships and communication patterns rather than traits or symptoms in individual members. The purpose of family therapy is to identify and treat family problems that cause dysfunction. Therapy focuses on improving specific areas of functioning for each member, including communication and problem-solving skills.

Group Therapy

Group therapy involves eight to 12 carefully selected individuals who share common issues to met regularly with the therapist. Unlike individual and couple’s therapy, group therapy uses multiple relationships to assist the individual with emotional growth and problem solving. An essential component of many therapy groups is increasing members' knowledge and understanding of a common problem. Groups can be a great setting for those individuals who wish to practice their newly acquired skills from individual therapy.
