Our clinicians provide evidence-based and distinctively Christian psychotherapy services to clients for a wide range of specialties for individuals, couples, families, and groups.

Individual therapy (sometimes called “psychotherapy” or “counseling”) is a type of therapy that aims to help people who are struggling with mental health issues. This can include a wide range of mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more.

Mental health counseling aims to help clients develop coping skills, overcome challenges, and improve their mental health and overall well-being. The therapist works with the client to identify the root cause of their issues and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Mental health counseling can be helpful for clients in several ways. It provides a safe and confidential space where clients can express their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. It also helps clients learn new skills and coping mechanisms to deal with their mental health issues. By working with a therapist, clients can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions, which can lead to personal growth and positive change. Overall, mental health counseling can provide clients with the tools they need to improve their mental health, relationships, and quality of life.

Depending upon the client’s unique needs and therapy goals, individual therapy may last only as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years.
