Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is a process in which the client and the psychotherapist meet to examine areas of emotional and social difficulties that are affecting the client. These difficulties may occur in school or work performance, in relationships, or in day to day living.
Common problems that may be treated are: Communication problems, anxiety and depression, alcohol and drug abuse and other addictions, anger management and impulse control problems, panic disorders, physical, emotional or sexual abuse, HIV/Aids or sexual Orientation concerns etc.....
In order to benefit from psychotherapy sessions the relationship that develops between the psychotherapist and patient is very important. If the patient feels comfortable, understood, not judged and safe, she can express her feelings and thoughts freely and move forward, when she is ready, with the help of the therapist.
Many people find psychotherapy to be a very helpful asset to managing and reaching personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, and the hassles of daily life.
