Individual counseling can offer you space to discover or better understand yourself, guide you through challenging transitions, regain a sense of control over your life, find solutions to your problems, and empower you to thrive. Individual therapy brings motivation, acceptance, a sense of clarity, reconciliation, pleasure, and growth.
I provide individual counseling in Atlanta (Buckhead) and Roswell, GA.
Some common reasons for seeking individual counseling are:
Work-life balance
If you are one of many people who is unsuccessfully trying to balance work, family/social time, leisure activities, and other personal needs, you are not alone. Unfortunately, this lifestyle affects our mood and immune system, our personal relationships, and professional productiveness. Individual counseling helps clients set realistic goals, create a self-care plan, practice setting boundaries, and learning assertiveness.
Stress, anxiety, and depression
Overwhelming fears, sleep issues, difficulty concentrating, obsessive thoughts, lack of energy, and other concerns can significantly impact your quality of life. Individual counseling takes a comprehensive approach, addressing behavioral, emotional, cognitive, physical, interpersonal, and spiritual dimensions. This holistic method can help you transform your attitudes, lifestyles, and habits, leading to a more fulfilled life.
Unhealthy/toxic relationships
Do you keep going back to an unhealthy relationship despite feeling drained, inferior, anxious, exhausted, and worthless? Relationships with parents, friends, and especially romantic partners can turn toxic. Individual counseling can empower you to break that cycle, identify and process your insecurities, start growing, and be your best self again.
Grief and Loss
Whether you are dealing with the loss of trust due to sexual abuse or identity due to going through menopause, the loss of status from retirement, or the loss of role from the death of your partner, help is available. It is good to know that grief is a highly personal experience that doesn’t end but does change. Individual counseling can assist you in bringing that change by learning to adapt and thrive.
Recovery from addiction
People tend to engage in unhealthy behaviors as a way to cope with stress. Genetic predisposition and immediate reward keep people compulsively using mood-altering substances such as alcohol and drugs. Help includes structure and consistency in assisting people to cope with feelings, cravings, memories, and dysfunctional relationships caused by their unhealthy actions.
