Self-actualization speaks to the person you want to become and mental health counseling, or individual therapy, is the platform by which this can be achieved.  Therapy empowers individuals on their personal journey of mental wellness and introspection.  Therapy generally focuses on healing the past in order to create more peace in the present.  Therapy helps you dive deeper into issues, often by exploring unresolved experiences from your past, traumas, diagnoses, or emotional pain points which may affect your ability to function or maintain healthy relationships.  Therapy takes a broad approach to help you gain an understanding about why patterns in your thoughts, feelings, or behavior develop and how to use that understanding to create change.  The process results in insight and a clearer understanding of who you are. 

Therapy is a platform of personal growth.  The therapeutic relationship creates opportunities to examine or make observations into your own mental and emotional processes, the capacity to explore your inner world and feelings, in addition to gaining the ability to foster a personal focus on planning and managing your life.  Such personal growth allows you to improve your personal relationship with yourself as well as interact effectively with others.  The therapeutic relationship capitalizes on the support of a socio-emotional environment for positive progress.  In addition to traditional talk-therapy, our approach to individual therapy incorporates facets of Applied Behavioral Analysis, Art Therapy, Music Therapy and Recreational therapy. 

If you are experiencing stress, relationship strain, anxiety, low motivation, lack of interest, loss of a loved one or the break down of family bonds, individual therapy is a great way to address these issues.   Mental health counseling can help you improve communication and create positive change in your life.
