Change The Way You Feel.

Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, the experience will be different depending on the individual. Our therapists tailor their therapeutic approach to your specific needs. In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life, your personal history relevant to your issue, and report progress (or any new insights gained) from the previous therapy session.

If you are concerned about your relationship, and you would both like to work with a therapist, we recommend couples therapy. After this work, if one or both of you would like to continue in individual sessions, you may choose to see the same therapist or see different therapists for your individual counseling. It is not recommended to move from individual into couple’s work with the same therapist because of potential trust issues.

Therapy sessions designed for the individual or couple are certainly recommended and are often part of a family therapy treatment plan. However, family therapy is a specialized branch of psychotherapy.According to Psychology Today, family therapy sessions address “the behaviors of all family members and the way these behaviors affect not only individual family members but also relationships between family members and the family unit as a whole.”

How best to participate in a child’s therapy depends primarily on the child’s age, the nature of the problem, and whether research supports parental involvement in the type of treatment your child is receiving. In some situations, particularly with younger children, parental guidance may be critical to bring about and support behavioral change between therapy sessions. In other situations, particularly with older children or adolescents, privacy between the child and therapist may form an important foundation for establishing trust and promoting behavioral change. In every case, parents should be clear on the therapist’s goals for treating their child and should understand the milestones their child is expected to reach throughout his/her treatment. Feel free to ask the therapist at the outset about how he/she plans to work with the child.
