Individual Psychotherapy

This is the most traditional form of treatment. Most often meetings are scheduled for an hour a week, although sometimes more intensive treatment is desired. While an immediate crisis usually compels a person to seek therapy, deeper work can occur once the initial troubles begin to resolve. Here the therapist strives to create a safe and trusting environment so the patient can examine personal issues. The relationship between the patient and the therapist creates a microcosm of the patient's relationships outside of the therapy room. This frame can then be slowed and carefully examined so the patient can begin to understand how to expand their capacity to deal with complex situations with integrity and personal satisfaction.
